Piirikaaviota

Piirikaaviota, often translated as "circuit diagram" or "schematic diagram" in English, is a graphical representation of an electronic circuit. It illustrates how electrical components are interconnected and how they function within a system. Unlike a physical layout diagram, a piirikaavio focuses on the logical connections and function of the circuit, rather than the physical placement of components.

Key elements of a piirikaavio include standardized symbols that represent different electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, and integrated circuits. Lines are used to denote the electrical connections between these components, indicating the flow of current. Arrows may be used to show the direction of current flow or signal propagation. The diagram provides a clear and organized overview of the circuit's design, enabling engineers and technicians to understand, troubleshoot, and modify electronic systems. It is an essential tool in electronics design, education, and maintenance.
