Object: how to visualize electri parameter?
I am trying to "transform" electrical circuit composed by
voltage/current generators, resistors, capacitors and inductance both
in direct than in alternate/variable current, into mechanical
relations, so that I can see what happens inside a circuit imaging it.
So, I think to imagine circuit's wires in a 3d space, where the points
of the are in different levels depending on the voltage they have (so
if the point A is +10V it is positioned in x,y,(z = 10); if point B is
-5V it is positioned in x,y,(z = -5), and so on). Than I think that
for electric current I can imagine a wire more large more the current
is greater. But I don't know the way to visualize resistor, capacitor
and inductor. I need advice. Have you some ideas? If you have other
ideas for voltage and current I will heard it carrefully. Thanks.

In the usual mechanical analogue system, we have
Voltage---Force
Current---Speed
Charge ---Displacement
Capacitance---Compliance of spring
Inductance---Mass
Resistance---Viscous force per unit speed
