Schematic Diagrams--ANSWERS TO QUIZ QUESTIONS

Section 1

1. A drawing, using symbols to represent the various parts, which shows the electrical connections of all components in a circuit. In addition, the value of components, color of leads, tube pin connections, voltage and resistance measurements, and many other items are usually included.
