schematic drawing

Symbolic system representation

A schematic drawing is a simplified diagram showing the essential elements and relationships of a system rather than realistic details.

Electrical schematics use standardized symbols for components like resistors and capacitors.

The term applies broadly: The architect sketched a schematic drawing of the floor plan.

Often shortened to schematic.
