Electrical Elements
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.
Resistance, in ohms. The default value is 1 Ω.
The block has the following ports:
Electrical conserving port associated with the resistor positive terminal.
Electrical conserving port associated with the resistor negative terminal.
