In which diagram do the physical locations of the wiring and the devices match the drawing?
Explain in which diagram the physical locations of the wiring and the devices match.
Answer to Problem 1SQ
The physical locations of the wiring and the devices match in wiring diagrams.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
Most of the electrical circuits can be represented by two types of diagrams; they are as follows:
- 1. Wiring diagram
- 2. Line diagram
In a wiring diagram, physical relation among all devices in the system can be shown.
The wiring diagrams are mostly useful in wiring circuits because the connections can be made exactly as they appear on the circuit diagram.
The line diagrams are also called as schematic, elementary, and ladder diagrams. It is also used to represent the electrical circuits in the simplest possible manner.
Conclusion:
Thus, the physical locations of the wiring and the devices match in wiring diagrams.
