Title: Schematic Diagram

OVERVIEW

This subject provides a study of electrical standards and

conventions. It completely describes the schematic diagram. There are
various illustrations that can help students in grasping the subject.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to;

1. Explain Schematic Diagram;

2. Comprehend the schematic diagram drawn in the circuit;

3. Appreciate the importance of schematic diagram in circuitry.

DISCUSSION

What is SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM?

A simple electric circuit is shown in pictorial form at the left side and same
circuit is drawn in schematic form in right side. The schematic diagram is a
shorthand way to draw an electric circuit, and circuits usually are
represented in this way. In addition to the connecting wires, three
components are shown symbolically
The standard graphic symbols for the commonly used electrical and
electronic components are given in Fig. 2-1.

A schematic diagram of a two-transistor radio receiver is shown in Fig. 2-2.

The circuit diagram shows the components in the order from left to right in
which they are used to convert radio waves into sound waves. With the use
of the diagram, it is then possible to trace the operation of the circuit from
the incoming signal at the antenna to the output at the headphones. The
components in a schematic diagram are identified by letter symbols such as
R for resistors, C for capacitors, L for inductors, and Q for transistors.
Symbols are further identified by letter–number combinations such as R1,
R2, and R3 (sometimes written as R1, R2, R3) to prevent confusion when
more than one type of component is used. The letters B, C, and E near the
transistor symbols indicate the base, collector, and emitter of the
transistors. The numerical values of components are often indicated directly
in the schematic diagram, such as 220 k for R1 and 0.022 µF for C2. When
these values are not given in this way, they are stated in the parts list or the
notes which accompany the diagram

Electrical equipment and circuitry is often expressed as symbols and lines

that represent the various components and connections within a system. The
level of complexity within an electrical drawing will vary depending on the
intended purpose and personnel working with the drawing.

The main purpose of a schematic diagram is to emphasize circuit elements

and how their functions relate to each other. Schematics are extremely
valuable troubleshooting tool that identify which components are in series or
parallel and how they connect to one another. Components that are
commonly found on schematic diagrams include resistors, capacitors,
inductors, diodes, logic gates, fuses contacts, switches, and more. Every
component in a circuit diagram has its own symbol to represent it.
Schematic diagrams should be arranged for simplicity and ease of
understanding without regard for the actual physical location of any
component, only focusing on how they connect together. These diagrams
should always be drawn with switches and contacts shown in a de-energized
position.

Q1. What type of circuit connection is the diagram below show?

This is series circuit, A series circuit is an electrical circuit configuration in

which components (such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors) are
connected end-to-end, forming a single pathway for the flow of electric
current.

Q2. A simple AM receiver is shown in the schematic diagram. Write the

symbols on the specified electronic components with a specific value and
give the sections of the electronic components below a descriptive name.

Resistor, Dc voltage source, inductor, capacitor. The specific value of electronic

components is chosen to meet the requirements of your circuit design, and you should refer to
component datasheets or consult circuit design guidelines to make the appropriate selections.

Q3. Name the electronic components and give specific symbols on analyzing
the schematic diagram below.
