Most dielectrics of practical purpose exhibit memory and are described by the century-old Curie-von Schweidler law. Interestingly, the Curie-von Schweidler law is the motivation behind an unconventional circuit component called fractional…
In an ordinary time-varying capacitor, there is debate whether a time-domain multiplication or a time-domain convolution of capacitance and voltage determines charge. A time-varying capacitor in parallel with a resistor was implemented by a…

We revisit the statistical mechanics of charge fluctuations in capacitors. In constant-potential classical molecular simulations, the atomic charge of electrode atoms are treated as additional degrees of freedom which evolve in time so as…
The dielectric susceptibility of most materials follows a fractional power-law frequency dependence that is called the "universal" response. We prove that in the time domain this dependence gives differential equations with derivatives and…

A classical description of the dynamics of a dissipative charged-particle fluid in a quadrupole-like device is developed. It is shown that the set of the classical fluid equations contains the same information as a complex function…
Meminductors and memcapacitors do not allow a Lagrangian formulation in the classical sense since these elements are nonconservative in nature and the associated energies are not state functions. To circumvent this problem, a different…
The charging capacitor is used as a standard paradigm for illustrating the concept of the Maxwell "displacement current". A certain aspect of the problem, however, is often overlooked. It concerns the conditions for satisfaction of the…
The quantum capacitor with discrete charge is modeled by a Hamiltonian containing an inductive intrinsic term (tunnel effect between plates). The spectrum is obtained using a double Hilbert space. Fluctuations in the charge-anticharge pairs…
Capacitors are typically connected together in one of two configurations: either in series, or in parallel. Here we study a capacitor-within-capacitor (CWC). Simulations and experiments indicate that the overall capacitance of the…

The Weak Gravity Conjecture is typically stated as a bound on the mass-to-charge ratio of a particle in the theory. Alternatively, it has been proposed that its natural formulation is in terms of the existence of a particle which is…
The conformable derivative has been promoted in numerous publications as a new fractional derivative operator. This article provides a critical reassessment of this claim. We demonstrate that the conformable derivative is not a fractional…
Conservation of current and conservation of charge are nearly the same thing: when enough is known about charge movement, conservation of current can be derived from conservation of charge, in ideal dielectrics, for example. Conservation of…
