      Comparison of physical terms and their geographical significance in circuit theory

      TermsGeographical significance
      CurrentProbability of each element flowing through a geographic unit in the pattern of spatial protection and development
      ResistanceThe resistance to development of the spatial unit; the geographical unit with a tendency toward protection is assigned a high resistance value
      VoltageThe probability that the spatial element leaves a node and successfully reaches a specified node is also the probability that two nodes can be connected through the axis
      Effective resistanceResistance distance of different paths between nodes
      GroundEndpoint of the spatial development axis
