For voltage, when e has a
positive value, its actual
polarity is the same as the
reference polarity, and when
e has a negative value, its
actual polarity is opposite to
that of the reference.
For current, when i has a
positive value, its actual
direction is the same as the
reference arrow, and when i
has a negative value, its
actual direction is opposite to
that of the reference.
