Abstract
Electric circuits involving Weyl semimetals possess unusual properties induced by the quantum anomaly. The chiral magnetic current in a Weyl semimetal subjected to magnetic field modifies the behavior of such circuits in a drastic way. We consider two explicit examples: (i) a circuit involving the "chiral battery" and (ii) a circuit that can be used as a "quantum amplifier" of magnetic field. The unique properties of these circuits stem from the chiral anomaly and may be utilized for creating "chiral electronic" devices.
