Symbols - Electrical

These are more abstract and geometric, often using simple boxes. A resistor in the IEC standard is represented by a plain rectangular box. Essential Passive Component Symbols

One of the most important things to know is that symbols vary by region. Most of the world follows one of two primary "visual philosophies": electrical symbols

Often more "pictorial," these symbols tend to look like the physical part they represent. For example, a resistor is a jagged zigzag line, mimicking the "resistance" a wire might offer to current. These are more abstract and geometric, often using
