Circuit diagram - Definition and Overview

A circuit diagram is a pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the different components of the circuit, and how they connect to each other. Unlike a block diagram or layout diagram, a circuit diagram shows the actual wire interconnects being used (although the picture does not have to correspond to what the circuit actually looks like).
