modelCapacitor

Ideal linear electrical capacitor

Extends from Interfaces.OnePort (Component with two electrical pins p and n and current i from p to n).

Information

The linear capacitor connects the branch voltage v with the branch current i by i = C * dv/dt. The Capacitance C is allowed to be positive or zero.
