AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the concept of memristance and its potential reciprocal, with a suggestion to define it as "memreluctance," akin to Dewey Larson's notion of reluctance for magnetic circuits. Participants inquire about the equations for equivalent memristance in series and parallel configurations, seeking clarity on its mathematical representation. The conversation also delves into the nature of memristance, questioning whether it is a fundamental passive component or merely a material effect observed in practical applications. Additionally, there is a request for updates or new findings related to memristance and its implications in circuit theory. Overall, the thread emphasizes the theoretical exploration of memristance and its practical significance in electrical engineering.

1st) Can you think in the reciprocal of the memristance? Can you give me a theoretical definition (or just a notion) for it and a term/jargon too?

Dewey Larson proposed the inverse for all electrical elements, including the inductance, that he called of "reluctance" and defined: "reluctance, the resistance of a magnetic circuit to the establishment of a magnetic flux by a magnetomotive force".

So, why no philosophize about the memristance too!? I'd like of hear your opinion.

2nd) How would be the equation of the equivalent memristance in series and in parallel?

3rd) How would be the ODE for a RLCM circuit?

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
My question would be is memristance a fundamental passive component (as in the theory) or is it really a material effect 'trick' like dopant diffusion in practical devices today?

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
