Inductor

Ideal inductor characterized by its inductance L.

This component models a linear inductor, a fundamental passive two-terminal electrical component. It defines the relationship between voltage v and current i based on its inductance L. The behavior is described by the equation:

$$v=L\frac{di}{dt}$$

math where v is the voltage across the inductor (difference between pin p and pin n), i is the current flowing through the inductor (from pin p to pin n), and L is its inductance.

This component extends from OnePort
