system analysis and signal processing, helping engineers model and design systems effectively.The
transfer function, symbolized as G(s), represents the ratio of the Laplace transform of the system's
output Y(s) to that of its input U(s), assuming zero initial conditions.

1.Launch Simulink:Open MATLAB, navigate to Simulink, and create a new model for your
simulation.
2.AddComponentstotheModel:UsetheLibraryBrowsertoincludethefollowingessentialblocksin
your model:
Constant Block (for input signal)
Simulink-PS Converter (to bridge Simulink signals with the physical system)
Current Source
Resistor
Inductor
Scope
Solver Configuration (to define simulation parameters).
3.Assemble the Circuit:Arrange the blocks to form a series circuit in the following order:
Constant Block → Simulink-PS Converter → Current Source → Resistor → Inductor → Electrical
Reference (Ground).
Connect the Voltage Sensor across the Resistor and Inductor to measure voltage.
Use a PS-Simulink Converter to link the Voltage Sensor output to a Scope for waveform visualization.
4.SetComponentParameters:Specifytherequiredvaluesforcurrent,resistance,andinductanceinthe
block parameter settings.
5.Run the Simulation:
Include the Solver Configuration Block in your model to ensure compatibility with physical
components.
Execute the simulation and observe the voltage response on the Scope.
