This is not a useful statement - in this framing, all of circuit theory is unphysical.
Other ideal circuit elements could exist in the sense that their existence would not violate known physical laws. The criticisms of the memristor is that its existence would violate fundamental thermodynamic principles (esp. Landauer's principle).
- sgillen 8y agoI mean, an ideal voltage source also cannot exist, and I'm sure their existence would violate several laws of physics. For example what happens when you put two ideal voltage sources in parallel? or when you connect one to a short circuit? Despite that though we can use a combination of ideal elements to represent real, non ideal, physical devices. So in that sense I disagree with your statement that "in this framing, all of circuit theory is unphysical."
