    A schematic is a simplified diagram of an electrical circuit that uses symbols to represent components like resistors, capacitors, diodes, integrated circuits, and other parts. It shows how these components are connected through wires or other electrical connections, with polarized capacitors only connecting in one direction and diodes allowing current to flow in one direction. The schematic also distinguishes between alternating current that changes direction and direct current that flows only one way.

    What is a Schematic?
    ● A simplified version of an electrical circuit
    ● Each symbol represents a part of the electrical circuit
    Resistor
    Resists energy flowing from connected wires or
    other electrical items.
    Capacitor
    Used to store energy
    Polarized Capacitor
    Type of capacitor that can only be connected
    in a one way circuit.
    Diode
    A specialized electrical component with an
    anode, being positive, and a cathode, being
    negative.
    Light Emitting Diode
    Type of diode that allows energy to pass in the
    forward direction, but blocks energy in the reverse
    direction.
    Integrated Circuit
    An electrical circuit on a small chip
    AC Current and DC Current
    AC = Alternating Current

    Flows in alternating directions.

    DC = Direct Current

    Electricity flows in one direction.


    Other Symbols
    Breaker - thermal protection

    Transistors - amplifies currents

    Potentiometers - dimmer switch

    Wire - measured by gage
