Use positive current in the charging direction and passive voltage drops across . The five ideal elements obey
The battery maintains its emf independently of current. An ideal open switch has with its voltage unconstrained; an ideal closed switch has with its current unconstrained. These statements are the switch's piecewise current-voltage relation. Inductor current continuity and capacitor-voltage continuity hold when no impulse voltage or current is imposed.
