AC and DC power differ in direction, usage, and efficiency. Learn the basics of how alternating and direct current work and where each is used.

This DIY 12V to 220V DC to AC converter is built with CMOS 4047 that is the main component of this small voltage converter that transforms a 12VDC into ...

Batteries are a part of our everyday life, and power everything from phones to gaming handhelds to laptops, but do those batteries use AC or DC current?

However, electric vehicle batteries require a direct current supply for charging. Every EV, therefore, is outfitted with an inverter to convert AC to DC, which can in turn charge the EV’s battery.
