A short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to short or s/c) is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path with no or very low electrical impedance. This results in an excessive current flowing through the circuit.
Basic electrical and electronic graphical symbols called Schematic Symbols are commonly used within circuit diagrams, schematics and computer aided drawing packages to identify the position of individual components and elements within a circuit.
Circuit symbols are used in circuit schematic diagrams which show how a circuit is connected together electrically. The standard circuit symbols are important for circuit schematic diagrams.
"Short circuit" refers to a wire placed between two points in a circuit, usually between the two terminals of a component. For example, if you connect a wire between the two ends of a resistor you have "shorted out" the resistor.
Use this helpful guide to understand every circuit diagram symbol from relays, to trasistors, to electrical symbols and more. Lucidchart has all the symbols you'll need for your circuit diagram.
A final means of describing an electric circuit is by use of conventional circuit symbols to provide a schematic diagram of the circuit and its components. Some circuit symbols used in schematic diagrams are shown below. A single cell or other power source is represented by a long and a short parallel line.
