The titular circuit cartoon is really bad[edit]

It's not acceptable to instead of drawing a circuit diagram draw a not-to-scale illustration with physical components connected through non-physical wire, using a (value)-large inductor as you might still find it in modern devices, a through-hole resistor that you wouldn't find, and a 1970's style film capacitor. I had to look for a minute at the figure and was wondering what it was trying to tell me. (I'm an electrical engineer, so maybe a bit overqualified for that kind of wondering, overthinking it?)

My take-away was that it wants to show a "typical" selection of components and how they are connected. At that it terribly fails. Marcusmueller ettus (talk) 21:54, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tuned circuit photo[edit]

> > Tuned circuit of a shortwave radio transmitter. This circuit does not have a resistor like the above, but all tuned circuits have some resistance, causing them to function as an RLC circuit.

Not sure this is really appropriate, as while it may technically be an RLC circuit due to resistance from non-ideality, all components have non-ideality in them. Noticed the exact same photo's also been uploaded to the page for LC circuit. 195.171.252.91 (talk) 14:09, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
