A great example is this simple wireless AC current detector from [NEW PEW]. The circuit is a simple one, and a classic. The spring from a ballpoint pen is soldered to the base of a BC547 ...
Direct current required thousands of little power plants at every mile, while alternating current allowed one source to power a much larger area. Alternating current transformed daily life in the ...
An explanation of the difference between direct and alternating current. The clip includes a short historical outline of the work of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. This is followed by an ...
To ensure that the minimum amount of power is lost from the cables: the cables are thick so that their resistance is low high voltages are used to reduce the current through the transmission lines ...
AC motors are electric motors which are powered by alternating current (AC). They are used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy in order to do work in a system. Specifically, rotational ...
To some, motor speed control is somewhat of a mystical science, a science that causes motors and machines to sometimes operate in unexpected ways. Over 30 years ago, AC drives were considered "new ...
