Batteries are a part of our everyday life, and power everything from phones to gaming handhelds to laptops, but do those ...

This week it’s measuring a test signal and probing Alternating Current. Hey, measuring signals is what oscilloscopes are all about, right? My very first measurement was, of course, the ...

It was a great device in theory ... For one, it acted like a rectifier, able to turn alternating current into direct current. Two, it switched on and off when a specific amount of voltage ...

In domestic devices, energy is transferred ... with brown plastic - this wire connects to the alternating potential difference pushing the current in the circuit Fuse A glass or ceramic canister ...

First of all, it is important to know that the electricity flowing through Europe’s power grids is based on alternating current technology, meaning that the direction of the current reverses every ...

The fuse contains a thin wire that will melt if the current gets too high. If there is a fault that causes the casing of the device to become live, a large current will flow through the low ...
