ABSTRACT

The case of a wire used to interconnect the terminals of two electrical elements corresponds to the special case of a resistor whose resistance is ideally zero ohms; that is,

R

= 0. For the capacitor in Fig. 17.1(b), the

capacitance

,

C

, has units of

farads,

and from Fig. 17.1(c), the value of an inductor is its

inductance

,

L

, the dimensions of which are

henries.
