Questions tagged [circuitikz]

{circuitikz} is a package for drawing electrical and electronic networks with TikZ.

is a package that provides a set of macros for naturally typesetting electrical and electronic networks. It contains hundred of symbols and recently added a subcircuit definition feature. It is mainly developed on GitHub; there is also a page with backward-compatible and experimental versions.

Notice that circuitikz is not the same package as the internal TikZ circuit library ; although it could be somewhat compatible, the preferred usage is to stick with one or the other.

Opposite poles battery in circuitikz

This might be a simple question, but I would like the battery positive pole to be to the left, and to the right as the default, (0,0) to [battery, v=$\varepsilon$] (2,0) Also, is there an option within circuitikz to draw only one pair of poles…
