Rejecting the argument of practicality, we argue that one should just present Electrical Engineering (EE) and Circuit Theory as interesting subjects and thus attract the proper young students to study EE in the academy. Some nontrivial motivating examples are suggested, which all relate also to physics: we consider a thermodynamics analogy for a specific connection of circuits of the same topology, spatial filtering, the physical sense of the concept of inductance, a fractal circuit, and an equational presentation of a typical nonlinearity. The work thus expresses the opinion that one of the main reasons why the circuit theory is interesting is its physical foundation, and the material can be used not only for teaching the EE, also the physics students.
