1.
WIRE-is used to connect the components
in a circuit.
2.Terminal (electronics) ... Electronic
symbol for a terminal. A terminal is the
point at which a conductor from an
electrical component, device or network
comes to an end and provides a point of
connection to external circuits. A terminal
may simply be the end of a wire or it may be
fitted with a connector or fastener.
3. Switch is a device for making and
breaking the connection in an electric circuit.
4.FUSE The fuse disconnects when current
above threshold. Used to protect circuit from
high currents.
Used in circuits where a probability of
excessive current flows. The fuse will break
the circuit if excessive current flows and
saves the other devices from damage.
5. CONNECTED WIRES Connected
crossing
One device may be connected to another
through wires. This is represented by
drawing blobs on the point where they are
shorted.
6. Circuit Breaker. Electronic symbol. ...
A circuit breaker is an automatically
operated electrical switch designed to
protect an electrical circuit from damage
caused by excess current, typically resulting
from an overload or short circuit. Its basic
function is to interrupt current flow after a
fault is detected.
7. Cell is a device containing electrodes
immersed in an electrolyte, used for
generating current or for electrolysis.Used to
provide a supply for a circuit.
8. Battery is a container consisting of one or
more cells, in which chemical energy is
converted into electricity and used as a
source of power. A battery has more than a
cell and is used for the same purpose. The
smaller terminal is negative and the larger
one is positive. Abbreviated as B. Generates
constant voltage
9. Resistor is a device having resistance to
the passage of an electric current. A resistor
is used to restrict the amount of current flow
through a device. Abbreviated as R.
Capacitor is a device used to store an
electric charge, consisting of one or more
pairs of conductors separated by an
insulator. Capacitor is a device that is used
to store electrical energy. It consists of two
metals plates that are separated by a
dielectric. It is applicable as a filter, that is,
to block DC signals and allow AC signals.
Abbreviated with the letter C.
Capacitor is used to store electric charge.
Diode allows current flow in one direction
only - left (anode) to right (cathode).
GROUND Used in electronic circuits to
represent the 0 volts of the power supply. It
can also be defined as the real earth , when
it is applied in radio circuits and power
circuits.
A lightning arrester is a device used on
electrical power systems and
telecommunications systems to protect the
insulation and conductors of the system from
the damaging effects of lightning.
The kilowatt-hour (symbol kWh, kWh
or kW h) is a derived unit of energy equal to
3.6 megajoules. If the energy is being
transmitted or used at a constant rate
(power) over a period of time, the total
energy in kilowatt-hours is the power in
kilowatts multiplied by the time in hours.
INCANDESCENT The filament is visible as
the horizontal line between the vertical
supply wires. ... An incandescent light
bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent
light globe is an electric light with a wire
filament heated to such a high temperature
that it glows with visible light
A fluorescent lamp or a fluorescent tube
is a low pressure mercury-vapor gas-
discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to
produce visible light. An electric current in
the gas excites mercury vapor which
produces short-wave ultraviolet light that
then causes a phosphor coating on the inside
of the lamp to glow. A fluorescent lamp
converts electrical energy into useful light
much more efficiently than incandescent
lamps. The typical luminous efficacy of
fluorescent lighting systems is 50100
lumens per watt, several times the efficacy
of incandescent bulbs with comparable light
output.
An Ammeter is used to measure the current
that passes through the circuit at a particular
point. Measures electric current. Has near
zero resistance. Connected serially.
Voltmeter is used to measure the voltage at
a certain point in the circuit. Measures
voltage. Has very high resistance. Connected
in parallel.
A galvanometer is used to measure very
small currents in the order of 1 milli ampere
or less.
WATTMETER Measures electric power
WIRES NOT CONNECTED When circuits are
drawn some wires may not touch others. This
can only be shown by bridging them or by
drawing them without blobs. But bridging is
commonly practised as there will not arise
any confusion.
PUSH BUTTON. a device designed to close
or open an electric circuit when a button or
knob is depressed, and to return to a normal
position when it is released. ... Hypersonic
drones, like the drones before them, are the
latest innovation in push-button warfare.
BELL Used to produce a sound as the
output, according to the electrical energy
produced as the input.
BUZZER Produce buzzing sound. It is used
to produce an output sound corresponding to
the electrical energy in the input.
SPEAKER Does the same operation as an
earphone, but converts an amplified version
of the electrical energy into its corresponding
sound.
Converts electrical signal to sound waves
ANTENNA Transmits & receives radio waves
Antenna is an electrical device which
converts electric power into radio waves, and
vice versa.
MALE PLUGAn electrical connector, is an
electro-mechanical device used to join
electrical terminations and create an
electrical circuit. Electrical connectors consist
of plugs (male-ended) and jacks (female-
ended). The connection may be temporary,
as for portable equipment, require a tool for
assembly and removal, or serve as a
permanent electrical joint between two wires
or devices.
Service Entrance (3
wires)service entrance: All of the wires,
devices, and fittings that carry electricity ...
tional requirements before installing the
service entrance.
DUPLEX CONVENIENCE OUTLET
A contact device installed at an outlet (the
point on an electrical wiring system at which
current is taken) for the connection of a
portable lamp or appliance by means of a
plug and flexible cord. A duplex receptacle
contains 2 convenience outlets and a
triplex receptacle, 3 outlets. ..
RANGE OUTLET
A range receptacle is a type of high power
electrical outlet installed specifically for an
electric range or oven.
Special Purpose Outlet
Point of connection to the electrical system
for a particular piece of equipment, normally
reserved for the exclusive use of the
equipment, sometimes called a dedicated
circuit.
FLOOR OUTLET
An electrical outlet whose face is level with
or recessed into a floor. Also known as floor
plug.
WEATHERPROOF OUTLET
The weatherproof outlet is a particular type
of electrical outlet that is designed for
installation outside the home. Outlets of this
kind are often installed on the exterior of
homes, garages, or storage buildings
SINGLE POLE SWITCH
Adding another pole to the SPDT creates a switched together by a single actuator.
double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) switch. DPDTs should have six terminals. A DPDT
Basically two SPDT switches, which can circuit symbol, and a 6-terminal DPDT rocker
control two separate circuits, but are always switch.
