I've seen a few circuit simulators, but they generally require a circuit to be closed for any calculation to take place. Then it's pretty easy: calculate total resistance, then with known voltage you can figure out the current in any given part of that circuit. And then you can apply non-linear effects such as inductivity and capacitance etc.
But is it possible to find out anything about a conductor without knowing about the rest of the circuit? How do you find out if a conductor has a charge when only one of it's ends is connected to a closed circuit? Finally, how can you calculate anything if you thread air as just a volume with very high but not infinite resistance?
So I am guessing you want some sort of program to do this for you?
It really isn't all that hard. By the power of Google I bring to you [url]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&hs=4u9&rls=en&&sa=X&ei=nfEUTJesBcG88gbhgrGzCg&ved=0CBUQBSgA&q=circuit+simulation+program&spell=1[/url]
Also for conductors, if you can find its constant of permeability of electricity (it is something of that name I don't know) you can calculate its abilities as a conductor and such. Again, just Google the substance you want to use.
Actually, I wanted to know the math of it. I checked in a TINA editor that if you connect multiple amperemeters and voltmeters along a wire (voltmeters in parallel ofc) then you can see that voltage and current stay the same on every point, even though they are all affected by resistors elsewhere on the wire.
So, voltage and current are not sufficient to describe the electricity entering and leaving a resistor. I want to know what property can I use to calculate the correct charge, current, voltage etc in any situation.

I don't know, I use this for circuit related stuff.

I just played with that for about an hour. I don't have a clue what I was doing.
Click on Directions or Circuit examples. I actually learned basic circuitry from that.
