[Tex/LaTex] Scaling Components in Circuitikz so it doesn’t disturb schematic

circuitikz

I have this code so far

First question: For the purose of the question, I think it would be a good thing to generate a picture, but I don't know how.

Then, the main question is on the sizing of components; I would like to understand how to scale down (or Up) a component, in this case a resistor (but it could also be useful to scale an Op-Amp). I have seen in another post that i could use /tikz/circuitikz/bipoles/length=.5cm with some scaling factor, but as you can see (from the image), I get issues with the wire and the node(the wire goes left, and the $$V_in$$ is far away to the right. So how do I scale the resistor so it doesn't mix everything else.

Best Answer

Is this what you were trying to do?

BTW, the \pgfextra{...} is only needed to call \ctikzset in the middle of a \draw (\path, \fill etc.) command. \ctikzset{\bipoles\length=5cm} will change the size of every component. (The widths and heights are multiplied by the length.)

    (-2,0.5)    to [R,*-,l_=364.1<\ohm>](-2,-1)             node[ground]{}
