A drawing showing a point A to point B hookup of conductors is called a

• A. Schematic
• B. Wiring diagram
• C. Layout plan
• D. Connection map

Answer: (B)

Wiring diagrams focus on the actual conductors and how they are wired between specific points. When you see a drawing that shows a direct hookup from point A to point B with the path of the conductors, you’re looking at how the wires run and connect, not the functional details of the circuit or the physical placement of components. That’s precisely what a wiring diagram conveys: the real wiring connections and routing between points.

A schematic would emphasize symbols for components and the circuit’s function, not necessarily the physical wire paths. A layout plan centers on where things sit in space, not the exact interconnections. A connection map might show relationships or interconnections but doesn’t usually depict the actual wiring routes between two points.
