User suggestion: allow circuits without wires #875
Comments
Historically, we required at least one wire, so we could guarantee there was at least that much resistance. This is probably less of a concern now that batteries have internal resistance. There is also an implementation constraint that only the dragged vertex is adjusted when dragging, so with fixed-length circuit elements, the other vertices are not auto-adjusted to get a perfect match. But I suppose one day we could rewrite that to allow adjusting the other angles to get everything to line up. |
Thanks @samreid. I'll leave it to @ariel-phet to communicate with the user. Based on the conversation, we can consider updating the behavior in the next release. |

Thanks @ariel-phet. I'll add this to the next publication milestone for consideration. |
@samreid @matthew-blackman and I agree that this is not within the scope of the current milestone. |
A user Tweeted that they couldn't complete a circuit without wires. @ariel-phet and I both confirmed that this seems to be the case. Is there a rule that requires at least one wire to close the circuit? If so, can you remember the reason @samreid?
I am not proposing a change, but would like to confirm that the behavior is intentional.
