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 ...

If you’re like me, you have hazy memories from high school physics class about the difference between alternating current (AC ...

AC and DC current are to EVs what petrol and diesel are to traditional combustion-powered cars. You can think of them as ‘fuels’ to fill up your electric car’s battery. Unlike when choosing the ...

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 ...

Electric vehicles are an important wave of the future, offering motorists a cleaner and more efficient way to travel. But when it comes to charging their batteries, electric vehicles have a particular ...

Two new current sources from Keithley provide assistance with low current measurements. When you need an AC current source, you often must build one and drive it with a voltage source. Keithley's ...

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 for ...

Power relays are specifically designed to handle either AC or DC. It’s important to know the fundamental differences between them before building them into a system. Introduction to AC and DC Power ...
