Analog.Basic.Tests.VariableCapacitor

Test circuit for VariableCapacitor.

A sine voltage source (1 V, 1 Hz) drives an RC circuit where the capacitance ramps from 1e-3 F to 6e-3 F over 2 s. A 10 Ω series resistor provides the current path.

The charge-based formulation should produce smooth current despite the time-varying capacitance.

Usage
