In the previous article, we looked at how electricity is generated and how it reaches us through power lines. In this article, we will look at alternating current (AC), which was mentioned many times.

I finally did it. After years of wanting one (and pushing off projects because I didn’t have one) I finally bought an oscilloscope. Over the years I read and watched a ton of content about how to use ...

The world of electric vehicles can sometimes seem like it comes with its own vocabulary, and that's where we come in. Look out for our ABC of EVs series, to demystify the words and phrases you'll hear ...

In the Feb. 22 issue of RWEE, we asked: What is skin effect in alternating current and what is its relationship to current flow? a. Skin effect is the tendency of all current flow on printed circuit ...

Electricity has been shaped by two rival ideas that have taken turns defining our world. Alternating current, or AC, became the backbone of industrial civilization, while direct current, or DC, ...

A winding (conductor) carrying direct current (DC) produces a magnetic field akin to a permanent magnet. A winding (conductor) carrying direct current (DC) produces a magnetic field akin to a ...

Traditional power stations are increasingly being replaced by wind and solar power plants – but that means the power grid lacks a stable pacemaker. Researchers from ETH Zurich are developing a control ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have used rapid alternating current (AC) to selectively reduce carbonyl groups (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06572). The technique avoids side reactions ...

For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the parts bin and pull out a generic relay of some sort. Relays are ...
