How does a signal get amplified?
Say I send an analog electric signal through a telephone wire. If that wire is long enough then the resistance will eventually make the amplitude of the signal close to zero. How do electric signals ...

How was this equation derived for a L-C negative resistance oscillator?
I'm looking over some old notes and saw this series of equations for a L-C oscillator. The first step is just writing a KCL equation for the circuit:
$$
\frac{V}{-R}+sCV+\frac{V}{sL+r}=0
$$
Where \$s=...

Negative resistance, impact on voltage source?
According to this, if \$R_1=R_2=R\$ then input resistance is \$R_{in}=-R_3\$, and if we assume that op amp is ideal. So negative resistance is in parallel with voltage source \$V_s\$.
Am I understand ...
