Resistor - Simulate linear resistor in electrical systems
Library
Electrical Elements
Description
The Resistor block models a linear resistor, described with
the following equation:
where
| V | Voltage |
| I | Current |
| R | Resistance |
Connections + and – are conserving electrical ports corresponding
to the positive and negative terminals of the resistor, respectively.
By convention, the voltage across the resistor is given by V(+)
– V(–), and the sign of the current
is positive when flowing through the device from the positive to the
negative terminal. This convention ensures that the power absorbed
by a resistor is always positive.
Dialog Box and Parameters
- Resistance
Resistance, in ohms. The default value is 1 Ω.
Ports
The block has the following ports:
- +
Electrical conserving port associated with the resistor positive
terminal.
- -
Electrical conserving port associated with the resistor negative
terminal.
