Key Stage 2

Meaning

A circuit diagram is a simple diagram using circuit symbols that are the same everywhere in the world.

About Circuit Diagrams

Circuit diagrams are drawn so that anyone in the world can build the same circuit.
Circuit diagrams use symbols instead of drawings because components might look different in different places.
