let us have a look at the characteristics of a capacitor:
(fixed pitch font)
A stepwise increase in Voltage (temperature)
will result in a slowly decreasing current
(a certain resistance assumed in the conductors)
Voltage difference (temperature difference)
_______________
I
I
I
----I
Current (Ampere, calories per sec)
*

For an inductor we expect the following characteristic
Voltage (temperature)
_______________
I
I
I
----I
current (calories per sec)

----*
How can we possibly make such an object?
