Circuit diagram used by w:Analysis of resistive circuits.

David Benbennick made it with the following crappy Metapost program:

verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
etex

scale=0.8in;
linethickness=1pt;

def docircuit =
  path pp;
  pp = unitsquare scaled scale shifted (-scale/2,-scale/2);
  draw pp;
  fill pp withcolor thecolor;

  linecap:=butt; draw (-7/6scale, 1/3scale) -- (-1/2scale, 1/3scale);
  linecap:=butt; draw (-7/6scale, -1/3scale) -- (-1/2scale, -1/3scale);

  draw thelabel(btex $+$ etex, (-7/6scale, 1.2/6scale));
  draw thelabel(btex $-$ etex, (-7/6scale, -1.2/6scale));

  linecap:=rounded;
  drawarrow (-7/6scale + 1/8scale, 0.8*1/3scale) --
    (-1/2scale - 1/8scale, 0.8*1/3scale)
    withcolor blue;

  if num = 1 :
    draw thelabel(btex \sf Circuit 1 etex, (0,0));
    dotlabel.lft(btex a etex, (-7/6scale, 1/3scale));
    dotlabel.lft(btex b etex, (-7/6scale, -1/3scale));
    draw thelabel(btex \sf V$_1$ etex, (-0.97*7/6scale, -0.02*scale));
    draw thelabel(btex \sf I$_1$ etex, (-5/6scale, 0.4*1/3scale));
  else :
    draw thelabel(btex \sf Circuit 2 etex, (0,0));
    dotlabel.lft(btex x etex, (-7/6scale, 1/3scale));
    dotlabel.lft(btex y etex, (-7/6scale, -1/3scale));
    draw thelabel(btex \sf V$_2$ etex, (-0.97*7/6scale, -0.02*scale));
    draw thelabel(btex \sf I$_2$ etex, (-5/6scale, 0.4*1/3scale));
  fi;
enddef;

beginfig(1);
  pickup pencircle scaled linethickness;

  color thecolor;

  thecolor = (0.8,1,1);
  num := 1;
  docircuit;

  currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0, 1.3*scale);

  thecolor := (1,1,0.8);
  num := 2;
  docircuit;

  currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (10cm,5cm);
endfig;
end;

I saved the above as Circuit_equivalence.mp, and the TeX program below as Circuit_equivalence.tex:

&latex
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
 \usepackage{graphicx}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
 \includegraphics{Circuit_equivalence.1}
\end{document}

Then I ran

mpost Circuit_equivalence
tex Circuit_equivalence
dvips -mode ljfzzz -D 1200 Circuit_equivalence -o
convert -density 1200 Circuit_equivalence.ps Circuit_equivalence.pnm
pnmcrop Circuit_equivalence.pnm | pnmtopng > a.png
pngrewrite a.png Circuit_equivalence.png
optipng Circuit_equivalence.png
