ELECTRONIC SCHEMATIC SYMBOLS
Power Supplies/Source
 Component   Circuit Symbol  Function of Component

Supplies electrical energy.


The larger terminal (on the left) is positive (+).
Cell
A single cell is often called a battery, but strictly a battery is
two or more cells joined together.

Supplies electrical energy. A battery is more than one cell.


Battery
The larger terminal (on the left) is positive (+).

Supplies electrical energy.


DC supply
DC = Direct Current, always flowing in one direction.

Supplies electrical energy.


AC supply AC = Alternating Current, continually changing
direction.

A safety device which will 'blow' (melt) if the


Fuse current flowing through it exceeds a specified
value.

Two coils of wire linked by an iron core.


Transformers are used to step up (increase) and
step down (decrease) AC voltages. Energy is
Transformer
transferred between the coils by the magnetic
field in the core. There is no electrical
connection between the coils.

A connection to earth. For many electronic


circuits this is the 0V (zero volts) of the power
Earth
supply, but for mains electricity and some radio
(Ground)
circuits it really means the earth. It is also
known as ground.
Wires and connections
 Component   Circuit Symbol  Function of Component

To pass current very easily from one part of a circuit to


Wire
another.

A 'blob' should be drawn where wires are connected


(joined), but it is sometimes omitted. Wires connected at
Wires joined
'crossroads' should be staggered slightly to form two T-
junctions, as shown on the right.

In complex diagrams it is often necessary to draw wires


crossing even though they are not connected. I prefer the
Wires not joined 'bridge' symbol shown on the right because the simple
crossing on the left may be misread as a joint where you
have forgotten to add a 'blob'!

FOR 7 PTS. ENUMERATE THE ACTIVE AND


PASSIVE DEVICES.
1.Are components that are capable of controlling
voltages or currents and can create a switching
action in the circuit. In other words, "Devices with
smarts!"
2. One that contributes no power gain
(amplification) to a circuit or system. It has no
control action and does not require any input
other than a signal to perform its function.
