What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Used a switched hot line (switch_kitch, switch_dine) to control lighting fixtures (R_light_kitch, R_light_dine) while outlets (R_outlet_kitch, R_outlet_dine) connect directly to the main hot feed.

02

Neutral wire tied to ground (0) as in a typical residential panel.

03

Resistive loads (144Ω and 28.8Ω) approximate a 100W light bulb and a 500W toaster at 120V.

04

Added a separate branch for dining room with its own switch and light to mirror real-world zoning.

Use this pattern for basic residential branch circuit diagrams in educational settings, homeowner guides, or as a starting point for more detailed home wiring plans. Not suitable for physical construction without additional safety and code compliance details.
