- Mark two points on your paper, a few inches apart.
- Draw the symbol for a battery or power supply that is connected to the two points.
- Draw the symbol for an electronic component, such as a capacitor, resistor, light bulb,
photocell, thyristor, thermistor etc., that is connected to the same two points.
- Draw the symbol for ANOTHER electronic component that is also connected to
the same two points.
- Now you have the diagram of a circuit with a power supply and two components
all in parallel.
schematic drawing
A circuit diagram is used simplified graphical drawing representing an electrical circuit. It shows the actual wire connections using a block diagram or layout diagram. It does not show a physical depiction of the arrangement of components.
Single sine diagram is graphical representation of electrical circuit drawn using single line instead of drawing 3 separate lines for three phases.
For Series Circuits (example for R-L circuit)Because current is common throughout a series circuit, current is taken as the phasor of reference for series AC circuits. So, we start by drawing a current phasor at 0o. Since the voltage across a purely resistive component (VR) is in phase with the current, we next draw VR in phase with the reference phasor. Since the voltage across a purely inductive component (VL) leads the current by 90o, we draw VL at 90o. We vectorially add phasors VR and VL to give V, the supply voltage. The angle between V and the reference phasor, I, is the phase angle. To create an impedance diagram, divide each voltage by the reference. To create a power diagram, multiply each voltage by the reference.For Parallel Circuits (example for R-L circuit)Because voltage is common across each branch of a parallel circuit, voltage is taken as the phasor of reference for parallel AC circuits. So, we start by drawing a voltage phasor at 0o. Since the current through a purely resistive branch (IR) is in phase with the voltage, we next draw IR in phase with the reference phasor. Since the current through a purely inductive branch (IL) lags the current by 90o, we draw IL at -90o. We vectorially add phasors IR and IL to give I, the load current. The angle between I and the reference phasor, V, is the phase angle. To create an admittance diagram, divide each current by the reference. To create a power diagram, multiply each current by the reference.
GFCI's are not used to protect a switch they are used to protect an outlet where something is plugged in.
The drawing of an electrical circuit is called a.............= schematic drawing.
The drawing of an electrical circuit is called a circuit diagram, or schematic diagram. It is a graphical representation of the electrical components and their interconnections in a circuit. It uses standardized symbols to represent different components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, switches, and wires. The lines connecting the symbols in the diagram indicate the flow of electrical current through the circuit. Circuit diagrams are used to design, troubleshoot, and repair electrical systems, and can be found in technical manuals, books and online resources.

circuit
a simplified drawing showing the appearance, structure, or workings of something; a schematic representation
A circuit diagram is used simplified graphical drawing representing an electrical circuit. It shows the actual wire connections using a block diagram or layout diagram. It does not show a physical depiction of the arrangement of components.
To make things simpler! Imagine if they had to draw an actual transistor or battery everytime... that would have been both time consuming and difficult for the person studying the diagram ( as one engineer's drawing of a transistor may be totally different from others )
a diagram is a simplified drawing showing the appearance, structure, or workings of something; a schematic representation and a picture is a design or representation made by various means
You can find the circuit drawing on its ballast.
It is a lot easier and quicker. Especially if scientists cannot draw (like me)
It depends on the purpose and type of the drawing. If the scale would be necessary for proper interpretation of the drawing (e.g. mechanical drawing, plans for a building) then yes. If the scale would not help in interpreting the drawing (e.g. electronics schematic, software data flow diagram) then no.
A wiring diagram is a detailed diagram of each circuit installation showing all the wiring, connectors terminal boards, and electrical or electrical componets of the circuits.
