Wonderful Understanding Circuit Diagrams
After seeing a few circuit diagrams you ll quickly learn how to distinguish the different symbols.
Understanding circuit diagrams. Learning to read electrical schematics is like learning to read maps. A resistor the symbol for a resistor how do you read circuits diagrams. What is a circuit diagram.
Physically parts are connected by wires in the diagrams you will see black lines going from one part to the next. A circuit diagram or a schematic diagram is a technical drawing of how to connect electronic components to get a certain function. When the black lines cross in a diagram there are ways of telling whether or not the wires should be connected to each other as shown below.
Circuit diagrams or schematic diagrams show electrical connections of wires or conductors by using a node as shown in the image below. This tutorial will show you a few of the common symbols and some of the professional terms to help you read circuit diagrams. When three or more lines touch each other or cross each other and a node is placed at the intersection this represents the lines or wires being electrically connected at that point.
Each electronic component has a symbol.
