What is a schematic?
A schematic is a standardized diagram that uses symbols to represent electronic components and lines to show their electrical connections in a circuit. It provides a visual roadmap of how components are interconnected without showing their physical layout or appearance. Schematics are essential for circuit design, troubleshooting, and communicating electronic designs, as they allow engineers and makers to understand the electrical function of a circuit at a glance.
