Jan 3, 2017 at 18:39 comment added Gyro Gearloose @Qmechanic I was hoping, at least for a simple, linear case, for something equivalent to Ohms Law, which would have fit quite nicely into physics. From the comments, I'm afraid this is not the case. And more, I fear that Electrical Engineering will point me back to physics.

Jan 3, 2017 at 17:58 comment added Gyro Gearloose @Pieter :-( I don't want yet another account. A capacitor also has some kind of memory (the charge). I can't find anything useful on the net that explains the difference.
Jan 3, 2017 at 17:48 comment added user137289 I do not know more than that it has a memory effect, do not know how this is done or what it is for (kind of voltage-dependent resistor maybe with hysteresis for protecting circuits?). Ask in electrical engineering.
Jan 3, 2017 at 17:43 comment added Gyro Gearloose @Pieter OK then, I was hoping to grasp "what a memristor is", but it looks it is not so easy. Do you have any proposal how I can change the question/put another one to understand what it is? Wikipedia is not much of a help there.
Jan 3, 2017 at 17:39 comment added user137289 A diode is also a passive component, but it does not have a constant ratio between voltage and current. Or in a ferromagnet: passive, but hysteresis means that there is no fixed proportionality between magnetization and applied magnetic field, so coils where the core has hysteresis are more complicated than a simple lossy inductance.
Jan 3, 2017 at 17:02 comment added Gyro Gearloose @Pieter could you explain about that? The wikipedia article lead me to think it was some passive component, some "missing" element to complement R,C,L.
Jan 3, 2017 at 16:13 comment added user137289 Impedance (a complex number describing phase difference and amplitude ratio between AC voltage and current) cannot model such a thing. (Cannot describe diodes either, or things with hysteresis.) Try the electrical engineering stackexchange.
