2 Circuit Element Models (2b)

Assume zero initial condition for
the inductor and capacitor,
Resistor : V(s)=RI(s)
Inductor: V(s)=sLI(s)
Capacitor: V(s) = I(s)/sC

The impedance in the s-domain is

defined as Z(s) = V(s)/I(s)
Resistor : Z(s)=R
Inductor: Z(s)=sL
Capacitor: Z(s) = 1/sC

Time-domain and s-domain representations of

The admittance in the s-domain
passive elements under zero initial conditions. is defined as Y(s) = I(s)/V(s) 1
