CircuiTikz is a set of LaTeX macros designed to make it easy to draw electrical networks in scientific publications. It provides a convenient syntax based on to-paths to place the various components. The examples below are from the CircuiTikz examples page. The author of CircuiTikz is Massimo Readelli
To run the examples you need to download and install the CircuiTikz files first.
Note. The circuits library available in the CVS version of PGF is inspired by CircuiTikz.

Hi!
Congratulations and thanks to the author by the package.
How do I get the motors in the circuit? I have not found this symbol
thank you very much
Mary, you should ask Massimo Readelli about this. I'm sure that he can help.
бриллианты - низкие цены!! все самое лучшее только в Versus.co.il Зайди и убедись!! http://versus.co.il
Hi,
I had some problems with this example. First, I got an error message:
! LaTeX Error: Unknown option
symbols' for packagecircuitikz'.Then I looked at the documentation: http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/circuitikz/doc/latex/circuitikz/circuitikzmanual.pdf
And noticed that "symbols"-option is obsolete. I removed it, but then I started having problems with those \micro\farad -stuff.
How to fix:
\usepackage[symbols]{circuitikz} changed to \usepackage[siunitx]{circuitikz}
Add \SI{}{}, for every component. Like this:
WRONG: [C, l=$10\micro\farad$]
FIXED: [C, l=$\SI{10}{\micro\farad}$]
Just figured out a simpler way: just edit the beginning of the file to:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[free-standing-units]{siunitx}
\usepackage{circuitikz}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
And I would add that now (2012) the "free-standing-units" option is also obsolete.
Now it works fine with this preamble:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{circuitikz} \usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
