Battery and sources: answer key, IEC style, sheet 2 of 2

  1. Fig. 1

    +−

    Name Cell

    In a cell symbol the long thin line is the positive terminal and the short thick line is the negative terminal.

  2. Fig. 2

    +−

    Name Battery

    A battery is drawn as several cells in a row; the terminals follow the same long-positive rule.

  3. Fig. 3

    +−

    Name DC voltage source

    The generic DC voltage-source drawing used in both views is a circle with + and − signs. An ideal voltage source fixes the voltage difference between those terminals.

  4. Fig. 4

    12

    Name AC source

    The sinusoidal AC voltage-source drawing used here is a circle with a sine wave inside.

  5. Fig. 5

    12

    Name Current source

    The generic current-source drawing used in both views is a circle with an arrow giving conventional current direction. An ideal current source fixes that current; the arrow does not give voltage polarity.
