This AC to DC converter circuit is capable of converting an alternative voltage within 70V – 260V range into a DC voltage within 180V to 350V DC range, so it can be used for 110V and 220V too. To ...

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 ...

Calculations of power and energy are relatively straightforward when the subject is strictly dc circuits. The situation is more complex in the ac world, however.

Thomas Edison favored DC circuits, but Nikola Tesla thought AC circuits were the way to go. Clearly Tesla won that argument. Let’s see why!

In contrast to alternating current, or AC, which, depending on the supply's frequency, switches direction 50 or 60 times per second, the current in DC circuits flows only in one direction.

Here is a simple 12 volts DC to AC inverter circuit. This 120V AC power source is built with a simple 120V:24V or 110V:24V center-tapped control transformer and four additional component. This circuit ...
