ELECTRICAL DIAGRAMS PART – 02 - DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PICTORIAL AND SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

ELECTRIC CIRCUIT – An electrical circuit is a path through which an electrical current flows. A closed circuit makes electrical current flow possible. An open circuit does not allow electrical current to flow.

An electric circuit made up of the basic elements resistance, inductance, and capacitance in a simple arrangement such that its performance would duplicate that of a more complicated circuit or network.

PICTORIAL CIRCUIT DIAGRAM - A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components.

SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM - A schematic circuit diagram is used to give a visual representation of an electrical circuit to an electrician.
