This document provides electronic schematic symbols and their functions:
1. It lists common power supply symbols like cells, batteries, DC supplies, and AC supplies that provide electrical energy to circuits.
2. It also lists common component symbols like fuses, transformers, and earth/ground connections and their purposes in circuits.
3. Finally, it outlines basic wire and connection symbols used to represent the flow of current between different parts of a circuit diagram.

(12pts) 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.
