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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
AC power cords carry alternating current from one area to another. There are many different standard plugs and voltages, depending upon the country. NEMA connectors are standardized by the National ...
If you want to measure AC or DC current with an oscilloscope, a current clamp is a great way to do it. The clamp surrounds the wire, so you don’t need to break the connection to take your ...
