Description

Linear flux-controlled capacitor with electric charge $q$, capacitance $C$, voltage $v$ and current $i$: $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \frac{\mathrm{d} q(t)}{\mathrm{d} t} & = & i(t), \\ v(t) & = & \frac{q(t)}{C}. \end{array}\right. $$

Usage

electronics.capacitor label ('N1', 'N2'): C=('Csymb', Cval);

Parameters

label:: string, capacitor label.
N1, N2:: strings, nodes labels. Positive direction of current is "N1 -> N2".
Csymb:: string, capacitance parameter symbol.
Cval:: float, capacitance parameter value.

Example

For a capacitor named myC with electric capacitance $C_1=2\mu$F between nodes A and B:

In netlist.net

electronics.capacitor myC ('A', 'B'): C=('C1', 2e-6);

In script.py

# capacitor
capacitor = {'dictionary': 'electronics',
             'component': 'capacitor',
             'label': 'myC',
             'nodes': ('A', 'B'),
             'arguments': {'C': ('C1', 2e-6)}}
