[Tex/LaTex] Label offsetting with multiple labels in Circuitikz

circuitikz

I have written the following code to draw the diagram of an RLC circuit:

\begin{tikzpicture}\draw
(0,2) node[anchor=east] {1} to [short,*-] (0,2)
to[R,R=$R$] (4,2) node[anchor=west] {2} to [short,*-] (4,2)
to[L,L=$L$,i>=$i_{L}$] (4,0)
to[short,-*] (2,0) node[rground] {G} to [short] (0,0)
(0,0) to[C,C=$C$,mirror,v=$v_{C}$] (0,2)
;\end{tikzpicture}

I get the following result:

My settings are:

\usepackage[siunitx,americanvoltages,americancurrents,americanports,cuteinductors,fulldiodes,arrowmos,smartlabels]{circuitikz}

How do I fix it (offset the voltage label leftwards and center offset the G label)?

For the "G" placement, you can use the label key.
For the C component labels, mirror seems to mess label positioning, so you can use some xscale and manual shifting (first and two diagrams below), or to use yscale=-1 (third diagram below).

The code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[siunitx,americanvoltages,americancurrents,americanports,cuteinductors,fulldiodes,arrowmos,smartlabels]{circuitikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw
(0,2) node[anchor=east] {1} to [short,*-] (0,2)
to[R,R=$R$] (4,2) node[anchor=west] {2} to [short,*-] (4,2)
to[L,L=$L$,i>=$i_{L}$] (4,0)
to[short,-*] (2,0) node[rground,label=$G$] {} to [short] (0,0)
(0,0) to[C,C=$C$,xscale=3,mirror,v={$\hspace*{-12pt}v_{C}$}] (0,2)
;\end{tikzpicture}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw
(0,2) node[anchor=east] {1} to [short,*-] (0,2)
to[R,R=$R$] (4,2) node[anchor=west] {2} to [short,*-] (4,2)
to[L,L=$L$,i>=$i_{L}$] (4,0)
to[short,-*] (2,0) node[rground,label={120:$G$}] {} to [short] (0,0)
(0,0) to[C,C=$C$,xscale=3,mirror,v={$\hspace*{-12pt}v_{C}$}] (0,2)
;\end{tikzpicture}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw
  (0,2) node[anchor=east] {1} to [short,*-] (0,2)
  to[R,R=$R$] (4,2) node[anchor=west] {2} to [short,*-] (4,2)
  to[L,L=$L$,i>=$i_{L}$] (4,0)
  to[short,-*] (2,0) node[rground,label={120:$G$}] {} to [short] (0,0)
  (0,0) to[C,C=$C$,v={$v_{C}$},yscale=-1] (0,-2);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Putting the label in a \mbox seems to do the trick. Try the following version:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[siunitx,european,americanresistors]{circuitikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[american currents]
    \draw (0,0) to[R,label=\mbox{$R_1=\SI{2}{\ohm}$}] (2,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Is that about right? Are you sure it wouldn't be easier just to stick a node with text where you want it?

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,titlepage]{article} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[siunitx]{circuitikz}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}[scale=1.4]\draw
 (0,0) to[C, l=\SI{10}{\micro\farad}] (0,2) -- (0,3)
 to[R, l=\SI{2.2}{\kilo\ohm}] (4,3) -- (4,2)
 to[L, l=\SI{12}{\milli\henry}, i=$i_1$] (4,0) -- (0,0)
 (4,2) to[D*, *-*] (2,0) to [D*, -*] (0,2)
 to[R, l=\SI{1}{\kilo\ohm}] (2,2) to[cV, v=\SI{0.3}{\kilo\ohm} $i_1$] (4,2)
 (2,0) to[I, i=\raisebox{1.2cm}{\SI{1}{\milli\ampere}\hspace{-0.3cm}},  -*]     (2,2)
;
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}

Also, the ne anchor point should be in the vicinity.

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,titlepage]{article} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[siunitx]{circuitikz}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}[scale=1.4]\draw
 (0,0) to[C, l=\SI{10}{\micro\farad}] (0,2) -- (0,3)
 to[R, l=\SI{2.2}{\kilo\ohm}] (4,3) -- (4,2)
 to[L, l=\SI{12}{\milli\henry}, i=$i_1$] (4,0) -- (0,0)
 (4,2) to[D*, *-*] (2,0) to [D*, -*] (0,2)
  to[R, l=\SI{1}{\kilo\ohm}] (2,2) to[cV, v=\SI{0.3}{\kilo\ohm} $i_1$] (4,2)
 (2,0) to[I, n=si1, -*] (2,2)
 (si1.ne) node[above]{\SI{1}{\milli\ampere}}
;
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}
