The gyrator–capacitor model - sometimes also the capacitor-permeance model - is a lumped-element model for magnetic circuits, that can be used in place of the more common resistance–reluctance model. The model makes permeance elements analogous to electrical capacitance (see magnetic capacitance section) rather than electrical resistance (see magnetic reluctance). Windings are represented as gyrators, interfacing between the electrical circuit and the magnetic model.
The primary advantage of the gyrator–capacitor model compared to the magnetic reluctance model is that the model preserves the correct values of energy flow, storage and dissipation. The gyrator–capacitor model is an example of a group of analogies that preserve energy flow across energy domains by making power conjugate pairs of variables in the various domains analogous. It fills the same role as the impedance analogy for the mechanical domain.
Magnetic circuit may refer to either the physical magnetic circuit or the model magnetic circuit. Elements and dynamical variables that are part of the model magnetic circuit have names that start with the adjective magnetic, although this convention is not strictly followed. Elements or dynamical variables in the model magnetic circuit may not have a one to one correspondence with components in the physical magnetic circuit. Symbols for elements and variables that are part of the model magnetic circuit may be written with a subscript of M. For example, would be a magnetic capacitor in the model circuit.
Electrical elements in an associated electrical circuit may be brought into the magnetic model for ease of analysis. Model elements in the magnetic circuit that represent electrical elements are typically the electrical dual of the electrical elements. This is because transducers between the electrical and magnetic domains in this model are usually represented by gyrators. A gyrator will transform an element into its dual. For example, a magnetic inductance may represent an electrical capacitance.

Mechanical–electrical analogies are the representation of mechanical systems as electrical networks. At first, such analogies were used in reverse to help explain electrical phenomena in familiar mechanical terms. James Clerk Maxwell introduced analogies of this sort in the 19th century. However, as electrical network analysis matured it was found that certain mechanical problems could more easily be solved through an electrical analogy.
Inductance is the tendency of an electrical conductor to oppose a change in the electric current flowing through it. The flow of electric current creates a magnetic field around the conductor. The field strength depends on the magnitude of the current, and follows any changes in current. From Faraday's law of induction, any change in magnetic field through a circuit induces an electromotive force (EMF) (voltage) in the conductors, a process known as electromagnetic induction.
