3.8 SUMMARY

• A linear resistor obeys Ohm's Law and is a memoryless element. The power delivered to a positive resistor is a non-negative function of time. Resistors in series have a common current and share the total voltage and power in proportion to their resistance values. Resistors in parallel have a common voltage and share the total current and power in proportion to their conductance values.
• Inductor is an element that accumulates flux linkage (volt-sec or Wb-T) and makes its response variable, i.e., current, proportional to the accumulated flux linkage. Capacitor is an element that accumulates charge (amp-sec or C) and makes its response variable, i.e., voltage, proportional to the accumulated charge.
• The voltage across an inductor at ...
