can be connected together to form a circuit. A circuit diagram shows how the components are connected. The following symbols show the different components that can be found in an electrical circuit.

To draw circuit diagrams, we use simple symbols to represent the different components. To find out more about how to draw circuit diagrams take a look at this KS2 Circuit symbols article.

is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single piece of semiconducting material, typically silicon. ICs have ...
