Observation of a Pinched-Loop in a Current-Excited Inductive Circuit
In this work, we show that a pinched-loop can be observed in the voltage-current plane when a series R-L circuit is current excited. Specifically, the resistance (R) in this circuit is variable and is voltage-controlled by the voltage developed across the inductor due to the exciting current. In this context, we confirm our previous results that the pinched-loop is not a characteristic of memrsitors or memrsitive systems and that it can be observed in many other nonlinear systems. Numerical simulations, circuit simulations and experimental results validate the theory.
