    Circuit Element
AI Thread Summary
Memristors are recognized as a legitimate fourth circuit element, although the classification may seem arbitrary. They differ from traditional components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors due to their unique properties related to charge and memory. Other devices like LDRs, thyristors, and thermistors do not fit the same category as memristors because they involve non-linear interactions with environmental factors. The discussion emphasizes the distinct nature of memristors compared to other components. Overall, memristors are accepted in the electronics community as a significant advancement in circuit theory.

Hello friends and genius,
I have heard about the missing circuit element which is called memristor. I want to know is it real or the whole world accept that creation of memristor as a fourth circuit element? I was confused about that because in my opinion, memristor is a branch of resistor. If it is a real circuit element, how about Light dependend resistor (LDR), Thyristor, Thermistor and it should have it's own name such as resistor, inductor or capacitor. please give me some advice about memristor :biggrin:

Memristors are real.
Calling it "fourth circuit element" is a bit arbitrary. It is easy to invent things like a "memductor" (inductance depends on charge flown).
Light- and temperature-dependent things have non-electronic interactions with the environment and many other parts are not linear.
 
Thank you very much mfb, I got your point
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
