MEMRISTOR-The 4th fundamental circuit Element.


We all know that there are only 3 fundamental circuit elements capacitor,resistor and the inductor.but there is also a new circuit element discovered called the memristor.Firsty i would tell u wat is the functioning iof the memristor.The Memristor is the contraction of Memory Resistor because that is exactly its function.It remembers the past.
Coming to the uses it is predicted that the memristor when combined wid transistors can help in the construction a new circuits which function like our brain.
A memristor is a 2 terminal device whose resistence depends on the magnitude and the polarity of the voltage applied to it and length of time that voltage is applied.when we turn off the voltage the memristor remembers its most recent resistence until the next time it is turned on,whether that happens a day later or a year later.
I think by reading this you have already gussed that memristor can be used in the field of computers . think about it. i will give u the answer in my next post .
Happy NEW YEAR 2009

Good one..Try to post its Picture as well

Good one..........but,who knows man!three fundumental circuit elements capacitor, resistor.....Your blog may be visited by navie users also.My suggestion is it's better not to use words like 'we know'
Today what we know,tomorrow gone from the mind.Only take it as suggestion.
Good Luck!
