About v-i Pinched Hysteresis of Some Non-Memristive Systems

Figure 4

Graphical composition of the v–i characteristics of nonlinear inductor with the characteristic , Wb/mA, driven by a sinusoidal 1 mA/1kHz current, and linear 100 Ω resistor (a). The result is a v–i hysteresis loop, which corresponds to the series connection of these elements, reminiscent of the pinched hysteresis loop of a passive memristor (b).
