AC and DC Current: AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) are the two fundamental forms of electrical current, differing in how electricity flows through a circuit. Understanding this ...

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.

This Idea For Design shows how a gyrator circuit can be used to perform certain ac tests on units under test that require a dc-current feed. Designers have long used the gyrator circuit to create a ...
