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, ...

Used to deliver power to your home, office, and any other building you can think of, alternating current (AC) voltage is relied on to provide power flawlessly on a daily basis. But why isn’t direct ...

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 ...

There are two main types of electrical current that flow through your home: Alternating and direct. The vast majority of devices around you are powered by alternating current. By allowing electrons to ...

If you work with electronic-based products, than you are likely familiar with alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), and the differences between the two. Lesser known about these two ...

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 ...

Rectifiers and ac-dc power supplies employ large bulk capacitors. During power-up, these capacitors require a large amount of current to charge up, resulting in a large inrush current. This inrush ...

The essentials of current-mode-control modeling. What are modified average models? Verifying new LTspice models for different, previously unsupported power-supply topologies. When a power-supply ...
