What is one advantage of using schematics over wiring diagrams according to the text?

• Schematics show the physical layout of components.

• Schematics are harder to understand.

• Schematics can be made smaller, making them easier to understand.

• Schematics provide actual pictures of components.

According to the text, what is a disadvantage of schematics compared to wiring diagrams?

• Schematics are too complex.

• Schematics do not show the physical layout of components.

• Schematics are too large.

• Schematics are less detailed.
