You've just added in a simulation of an infinitely long lasting power supply.
Making a real negative resistor along those lines would involve having a real infinitely long lasting power supply. Last time I checked, they were hard to come by.
Sylvia.
Positively excellent retort.
And to think that you fat, retarded bastards have been calling me a troll.
I would say zero current flow. As in open circuit.
Certainly the current tends towards zero as the resistance tends towards infinity (or minus infinity).
But for a resistance that is "greater than infinite"? Not possible to say without a definition of the term.
Sylvia.

-- You\'re looking at the wrong thing. Look at the voltage into R4 and the current through it.

I haven't tried. I don't see what point you think you're making.
Sylvia.
-- No, I\'ve just made the input signal the opamp\'s power supply as well, obviating the need for an infinitely long lasting power supply. After all, if there\'s no signal present of what use is the supply?
-- You\'ll never know if you don\'t try... Anyway, What\'s the matter; afraid you might learn something and feel indebted? JF
Not as much fun, though ;-)

You should adopt that as a sig, John.

It's a bad photo to judge from, but Sylvia looks emaciated... that's pushing "skinny" just a wee bit too far ;-)

Obstinate? See the SIG, you're blundering along riding a collection of bad assumptions.
It's alright, around here, to admit error. Actually, it's admirable, it happens so rarely ;-)

It\'s what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.
slope
I still don't get it. If I run the transient response, just as you set it up, the opamp output is stuck near ground and the V3 source sees a load of about 1K to near ground, plus the opamp supply current. The opamp is just an expensive ground.
So what's the function of the circuit?
John
I've run your sim, comments posted elsewhere, and I can't figure out what the circuit is supposed to do.
John

nNo, it follows Ohm's law with a minus resistance value:
V =3D R * I
The value of R is negative.
lYou seem not to understand that there are two types of negative resistors. Both are validly negative. Try thinking about the conductance of a negative resistor. Consider passing resistance through zero and then consider passing conductance through zero. You will see that they don't both take you to the same place.
There's cause to think that neither you nor I are gorgeous burning hunks of male beauty.

I did a walk through the Cornell EE department. Just for fun, I counted oscilloscope screens (three) and PC screens (had to be a hundred, maybe.)
My office is a little better, three oscilloscopes (as many as Cornell!) and two PCs. I actually own about 40 scopes and 5 PCs.
John
Hardly ;-)
But does your "skinny" preference descend to "bony" ?:-)
