Pewter often used as a base metal for silver-plated objects. In the late 19th century, pewter came back into fashion with the revival of medieval objects for decoration. New replicas of medieval pewter objects were created, and collected for decoration. Today, pewter is used in decorative objects, mainly collectible statuettes and figurines, game figures, aircraft and other models, (replica) coins, pendants, plated jewellery and so on. Certain athletic contests, such as the United States Figure Skating Championships, award pewter medals to fourth-place finishers. Pewter Pewter () is a malleable metal alloy. It is traditionally composed of 85–99% tin, mixed with copper,
Lumped element model in steady state. The third assumption is the basis of the lumped element model used in network analysis. Less severe assumptions result in the distributed element model, while still not requiring the direct application of the full Maxwell equations. The lumped element model of electronic circuits makes the simplifying assumption that the attributes of the circuit, resistance, capacitance, inductance, and gain, are concentrated into idealized electrical components; resistors, capacitors, and inductors, etc. joined by a network of perfectly conducting wires. The lumped element model is valid whenever formula_3, where formula_4 denotes the circuit's characteristic length, and formula_5 denotes the circuit's
