SensorsTest

A test circuit with a resistor and capacitor in series, driven by a sinusoidal voltage source, instrumented with voltage, current, and power sensors.

This component models an electrical R-C series circuit. A VoltageSource, whose voltage is determined by a Sine signal generator, drives a Resistor (R=1 Ohm) and a Capacitor (C=1 Farad) connected in series. The circuit is completed by a Ground component. Several sensors are included to monitor the circuit's behavior: a CurrentSensor measures the current flowing through the series R-C combination, a VoltageSensor measures the voltage across the Capacitor, and a PowerSensor measures the instantaneous power associated with the Capacitor. The sine wave generator (source) provides an input signal defined by V(t)=offset+amplitudesin(2πfrequencyt), where offset=1, amplitude=10, and frequency=5 Hz. The primary purpose is to test the dynamic response of these sensor components in a simple circuit.
