9.1. Models, Descriptive and Explanatory

We will see in Section 9.2.3 that, when measuring on a parallel circuit with controlled voltage, the real part of the resulting current will be proportional to the conductance and the imaginary part will be proportional to the susceptance. And furthermore, ...
