Poor Topsy. Thomas Edison killed the ex-circus elephant, electrocuting the animal to demonstrate how dangerous alternating current was. Edison even described electrocution as being “Westinghoused,” ...
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 ...
We explain the difference between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electricity. How do they affect EV ...
A current transformer (CT) is a simple, practical and inexpensive means of detecting the presence of AC current. Detecting load current rather than applied voltage is a superior method of determining ...
AC stands for alternating current which signifies the constant reversed back and forth direction of current flowing in a circuit. AC electricity is the type of electricity commonly used in homes and ...
Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...
In Applied Physics Letters ( "Investigation on fabrication and physical mechanisms of single-contact AC-driven nano-LED ...
Craig has worked in automotive media for nearly 20 years, producing content for publications ranging from Autoline and AutoGuide to Roadshow by CNET and EV Pulse. Aside from writing, he’s also ...
