Description
A connection to
earth. Used for
zero potential
ground
reference and
electrical shock
protection.
Equipotentiality
is a symbol to
identify parts
that have the
same voltage
(i.e. same
electrical
potential i.e.
equipotential).
Since
equipotential
surfaces all
have the same
equipotentiality
voltage, you
won't get
shocked if you
touch two such
surfaces (unless
of course you
are also
touching some
OTHER part
that has a
different
potential from
the first two).
Connected to
chassis the chassis of
the circuit.
Supplies
electrical
energy. A
battery is more
battery
than one cell. It
generates
constant
voltage and
 represents a
battery in an
equipment
package.
A resistor
restricts the
flow of current,
for example to
limit the current
resister passing through
an LED. A
resistor is used
with a capacitor
in a timing
circuit.
A box with
input and
control logic on
attenuator
one side, and
output on the
other.
A capacitor
stores electric
charge. A
capacitor is
used with a
resistor in a
capacitor
timing circuit.
It can also be
used as a filter,
to block DC
signals but pass
AC signals.
Accumulators
are designed to
accumulator increase or
relieve pressure
in the system.
An antenna is a
radio antenna
that can be
antenna
made of a
simple wire,
with a center-
 fed driven
element.
A loop antenna
is a radio
antenna
consisting of a
loop (or loops)
of wire, tubing,
or other
loop antenna
electrical
conductors with
its ends
connected to a
balanced
transmission
line.
A crystal
oscillator uses
the mechanical
resonance of a
vibrating
crystal of
crystal piezoelectric
material to
create an
electrical signal
with a very
precise
frequency.
A circuit
breaker is an
automatically
operated
electrical
switch designed
circuit breaker
to protect an
electrical
circuit from
damage caused
by overload or
short circuit.
A type of
sacrificial
fuse
overcurrent
protection
 device.
Represents low
voltage and
power fuses.
An ideal
voltage source,
is a device
that produces a
constant
ideal source
voltage across
its terminals
no matter what
current is
drawn from it.
generic component
any device used
to convert
energy from one
form to another
transducer
- typically when
converting input
energy into
output energy.
A coil of wire
creates a
magnetic field
when current
passes through
it. It may have
an iron core
inside the coil.
It can be used
as a transducer
converting
inductor
electrical
energy to
mechanical
energy by
pulling on
something. It is
a passive two-
terminal
electrical
component
used to store
 energy in a
magnetic field.

For example, a
voltmeter is an
instrument used
for measuring
the electrical
potential
difference
instrument
between two
points in an
electric circuit.
The wattmeter
is an instrument
for measuring
the electric
 power in watts
of any given
circuit.

The electric
bell is found in
a normal house
bell doorbell, and
when activated
it makes a
ringing sound.
An electrical
buzzer is
similar to the
bell, but instead
buzzer of a single tone
or bell sound it
makes a
constant buzz
noise.

A speaker can
take digital
input and turn it
into analogue
sound waves.
One of the most

important parts
of a wide range
of electrical
products like
TVs and
telephones.

microphone

Produces a
repetitive

signal, often a
sine wave or a
square wave.
