The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

The harnessing of electricity has played a pivotal role in human history and has exponentially expedited our growth as a species. Since becoming a household commodity in the late 19th century, ...

Bulk capacitors typically require a large amount of current to charge up, resulting in a large inrush current. However, thanks to a unique control algorithm, an innovative inrush-current control ...

When picking a switch to use in electrical design, many people believe they can use any switch, provided its current rating is more than the maximum load in the circuit. This, of course, isn’t true.

Electric vehicles are an important wave of the future, offering motorists a cleaner and more efficient way to travel. But when it comes to charging their batteries, electric vehicles have a particular ...

You can't live without your smart phone charger. I understand that. However, the charger needs a DC supply. DC stands for Direct Current (this means that you can't say "DC Current" - that would be ...

Learn how to create both AC and DC wind generators in this comprehensive guide! This video demonstrates the step-by-step ...

In theory, the design of current sensing circuitry, typically based on simple measurement of the IR voltage developed across a resistor placed in series with the current to be sensed, looks like an ...

When energy-efficiency costs come into play, more designers are opting for the electronically commutated motor rather than familiar AC and DC versions. For motor applications, engineers have several ...
