SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of memristance, with a focus on its inverse, termed "reluctance," as proposed by Dewey Larson. Participants explore the theoretical definitions and implications of memristance, questioning its status as a fundamental passive component versus a material effect. Additionally, the conversation touches on the equations for equivalent memristance in series and parallel configurations, as well as the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) governing RLCM circuits.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of memristance and its role in electrical circuits
  • Familiarity with electrical components: resistors, inductors, and capacitors
  • Knowledge of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in circuit analysis
  • Basic concepts of magnetic circuits and reluctance
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical modeling of memristors in circuit theory
  • Study the relationship between memristance and reluctance in electrical systems
  • Explore the applications of memristors in modern electronics
  • Learn about the implications of memristance in RLCM circuit design
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, circuit designers, and researchers interested in advanced passive components and their applications in modern electronic systems.

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?
