ABSTRACT:
An element for use in an electrical circuit includes sub-region (11) and a second sub-region (12), which regions can contain a charge carrier gas (6) at least during operation and are separated from one another by an insulation zone (13). The insulaton zone (13) is locally interrupted by a barrier zone (15) which presents a potential barrier to the charge carriers. The first sub-region (11) is provided with a first connection (21) for deriving the potential from it. The second sub-region (12) is provided with two connections (22, 23) by means of which a current (I) can be passed through the second sub-region (12). The potential of the first sub-region (11) is found to be proportional to at least substantially the square of the current (I) passed through the second sub-region. This renders the element particularly suitable for an electrical circuit in which such a proportionality is desired.
