Ohmic and Nonohmic Response

The Rectifier example above uses the IVApplet to show non-ohmic curcuit behavior. You can vary the source frequency using the slider.   Reset the mouse on a component inside the schematic and observer the component values.

JavaScript may be used to set other I(V) functions:

• I( V ) = max( 0 ,  2*V )
• I( V ) = abs( V )
• I( V ) = 5/(1+exp( -V ))
• I( V ) = 3*V

Script Example

<script language="JavaScript"> 

function proba(){

    document.Circuit.setDefault(60);

    document.Circuit.setShowGraph(true);

    document.Circuit.setCurrentFunction("max(0,2*V)");

    document.Circuit.setPartLabel("  A");

    document.Circuit.setAutoRefresh(true);

}

function probb(){

    document.Circuit.setDefault(60);

    document.Circuit.setShowGraph(true);

    document.Circuit.setCurrentFunction("abs(V)");

    document.Circuit.setPartLabel("  B");

    document.Circuit.setAutoRefresh(true);

}

function probc(){

    document.Circuit.setDefault(60);

    document.Circuit.setShowGraph(true);

    document.Circuit.setCurrentFunction("5/(1+exp(-v))");

    document.Circuit.setPartLabel("  C");

    document.Circuit.setAutoRefresh(true);

}

function probd(){

    document.Circuit.setDefault(60);

    document.Circuit.setShowGraph(true);

    document.Circuit.setCurrentFunction("3*V");

    document.Circuit.setPartLabel("  C");

    document.Circuit.setAutoRefresh(true);

}
