Subsections

R: Resistor

Syntax

Rxxxxxxx n+ n- value
Rxxxxxxx n+ n- expression
.RESistor label n+ n- expression

Purpose

Resistor, or general current controlled dissipative element.

Comments

N+ and n- are the positive and negative element nodes, respectively. Value is the resistance in Ohms.

The resistor (type R) differs from the admittance (type Y) in that the resistor is a current controlled element, and the conductance is a voltage controlled element, in addition to the obvious use of conductance ($1/R$) instead of resistance.
