Application does not allow 0 Ohm resistors to be added #2888

In electrical engineering, 0 Ohm resistors have several valid uses. However, this program does not accept setting of the resistor in the circuit to 0 Ohms, limiting functionality.

Edit: The same applies to battery voltage, whereby 0V is not accepted.

Team's Response

Thank you for the suggestion. 0 Ohm resistors are short-circuit wires. Generally, one would want a resistor to limit the current in the circuit and it may be dangerous not to provide some resistance. 0V voltage means there is no power to the circuit. This would render the circuit analysis useless. We believe that the simple circuits have no use for these features.
