Resistor
Karakteristik utama dari resistor adalah resistansinya dan daya listrik yang dapat dihantarkan. Karakteristik lain termasuk koefisien suhu, derau listrik (noise), dan induktansi.
Memristor
As long as "M"("q"("t")) varies little, such as under alternating current, the memristor will appear as a resistor. If "M"("q"("t")) increases rapidly, however, current and power consumption will quickly stop.
