Q: Which symbol represents a resistor?

A zigzag line — A zigzag line is the standard symbol for a resistor in circuit diagrams.

Q: What electronic component is represented by the symbol: | |

Capacitor — Two parallel lines are the standard symbol for a capacitor.

Q: The symbol for a battery typically consists of:

Two parallel lines, one longer than the other — The longer line represents the positive terminal, and the shorter line is the negative terminal.

Q: Which symbol is used to represent a ground connection?

Three horizontal lines of decreasing length stacked vertically — The ground symbol helps create a reference potential and indicates a path for the return current.

Q: What does the following symbol represent: ----|>|---

A Diode — The arrowhead on the diode symbol indicates the direction of conventional current flow.

Q: Which symbol represents an inductor?

A coil of wire — The coil of wire represents the winding of the inductor.

Q: The symbol for a switch (open) is:

A straight line with a gap — The gap represents an open circuit, where current cannot flow.

Q: Which symbol generally represents a light-emitting diode (LED)?

A diode symbol with two outward-pointing arrows — The arrows represent the emission of light.

Q: What is the symbol for a voltage source?

A battery symbol — The battery symbol represents a source of electrical potential.

Q: Which symbol generally represents a variable resistor (potentiometer)?

A zigzag line with an arrow through it. — The arrow denotes the adjustable connection in a potentiometer or rheostat.
