Chua's Circuit

Chua's Circuit is a simple electronic system that demonstrates complex, chaotic behavior, similar to how weather or the stock market can fluctuate unpredictably. It uses basic components like resistors, capacitors, and an active device to create oscillations that can switch between regular and chaotic patterns. These unpredictable patterns arise from the circuit’s nonlinear properties, meaning small changes in input can lead to vastly different outputs. Chua's Circuit helps scientists study chaos theory and nonlinear dynamics, illustrating how simple systems can produce intricate, seemingly random behaviors.
