The measuring <electric current> crosses the layer planes. This geometry motivates the serial-layer paths in the <two-current resistor model>. A quantitative material calculation can also require interface <electrical resistances>, <spin relaxation> and <spin accumulation>; the circuit below intentionally isolates a smaller set of assumptions.
