Description
The PS Divide block divides one physical signal input by another and outputs the quotient:
where
| I1 | Physical signal at the first input port (marked with the x sign) |
| I2 | Physical signal at the second input port (marked with the ÷ sign) |
| O | Physical signal at the output port |
The signal unit at the output port is determined by unit propagation rules. For more information, see Physical Signal Unit Propagation.
Examples
Nonlinear Inductor
An implementation of a nonlinear inductor where inductance depends on current. A tanh function defines the nonlinear flux-current relationship. The flux saturates for large currents, which can occur, for example, in iron core inductors.
Solenoid
A solenoid with a spring return. The solenoid is modeled as an inductance whose value L depends on the plunger position x. The back emf for a time-varying inductance is given by:
