SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating a passive device that mimics the voltage equation V = (const.) d3q/dt3 in electrical circuits. It highlights the behavior of standard circuit elements: capacitors (V = (1/C) q), resistors (V = R dq/dt), and inductors (V = L d2q/dt2). The conversation reveals confusion regarding the use of charge (q) versus current (I) in the context of the proposed equation. Ultimately, the consensus is that no existing passive components can replicate this specific behavior.

The three circuit elements are capacitors, resistors, and inductors, which act in the following manner:

Capacitor: V = (1/C) q
Resistor: V = R dq/dt
Inductor: V = L d2q/dt2

Is it possible to build a passive device that acts like:

V = (const.) d3q/dt3

Google search has come up with nothing.

Are you sure?
 
What do you mean am I sure? Does that formula look incorrect to you or something?
 
oops my bad. I didn't notice you had q instead of I.
