Circuit Elements

Circuit elements are indivisible components with unique behavior that can be described through a mathematical relationship between voltage and current. They may or may not have a polarity.

Connecting circuit elements in any combination is referred to as wiring a circuit. Points where two or more elements meet at one of their two ends are called nodes. After the circuit is wired, its elements form some closed loops. In complex circuits with many loops they form a mesh or a network.

Passive elements (elements that do not generate power) can be added to your drawing and you can see their influence on the simulation.
