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 ...

Have you ever wondered about the electricity that courses through your car? Do you suspect that there's a captive bolt of lightning held in a magic jar? Of course you don't. You're not a Neanderthal.

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have used rapid alternating current (AC) to selectively reduce carbonyl groups (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06572). The technique avoids side reactions ...

A current transformer (CT) is a simple, practical and inexpensive means of detecting the presence of AC current. Detecting load current rather than applied voltage is a superior method of determining ...
