Circuit Diagram

                        Circuit Diagram

Today in class we learned many symbols for circuit diagrams. The reason why we use these symbols for our circuit diagrams is because to make life easier. Also because so that our drawings will be precise and clear once you know the symbols meanings. Using symbols saves time because their is no need to draw an actual light bulb all you can do is a circle and inside the circle will be an X. On a circuit diagram we can see all the symbols used in it example: we can see the electric supplier known as the battery because we know that its just 2 lines (one is long and one is short) and it connects through wires. Some things the symbols make it harder to do is when the connections between other light bulbs and electric connections. Even though if you had a "real life" circuit generator where you had the generator and the wires e.t.c you can see how everything works. In a diagram you can't really 
see the relationships between other things (electric connections, light bulbs e.t.c) 

Something new that would help me use symbols for is building a house. Using symbols would help the construction workers locate where to apply the wood/bricks. It would just help them knowing where everything goes (windows, doors, electricity, e.t.c)
