>>Basics>Circuit>Sources
The component represents a power source able to work as source (positve power) or sink (negative
power). However, the circuit must be technically meaningful. You cannot use the component
as sink when it is connected only with a resistor. If you use the component as source
(positive power) connected only with a resistor, two solutions with opposite current and voltage
values exist.
POWER() t =
vt () ⋅ it ()
Dialog Settings
«Power»
Defines the provided or consumed power. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical value,
a variable, or an expression in the text box or use the pin to connect a quantity.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the control signal is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise
the name in the text box is used.
AC Parameters
� «Phase & Magnitude»
The Phase/Magnitude representation is selected. Common parameter types. Enter a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box. See also “AC Simulation Models” on
page 401.
� «Angular Dimension»
In the list, select radians or degrees for the angular dimension of the phase.
� «Real & Imaginary»
The Real/Imaginary representation is selected. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box.
