| Keywords: Quadrants of IV plane.svg en The plane representing the current i through an electronic component versus the voltage v across it IV plane showing the different regions The quadrants are numbered in the corners Static resistance is given by R<sub>static</sub> v/i The power consumed by the component is given by P iv In the 1st and 3rd quadrants v and i have the same sign so R<sub>static</sub> > 0 the static resistance is positive Current flows through the device from the positive to negative terminal so the electric charges lose potential energy by doing work on the component So P > 0 and the device consumes power from the circuit So these quadrants represent loads or passive devices such as resistances In the 2nd and 4th quadrants <font color red > red </font> v and i have opposite signs so R<sub>static</sub> < 0; the device has negative static resistance Current is forced to flow through the device from negative to positive terminal so the charges gain potential energy So P < 0 and the device produces electric power which flows into the circuit So these quadrants represent sources or active devices such as generators and batteries 2013-05-01 18 08 16 own Chetvorno cc-zero Uploaded with UploadWizard Negative resistance Device current-voltage characteristics Quadrants | ||||
