This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...

Which way does electricity flow through a vehicle’s electrical system? From positive to negative, or from negative to positive? Depending on your viewpoint, it can flow either way. When most people ...

Abstract: The operation of HVdc grids faces two critical challenges: 1) fast interruption of dc-side fault currents and 2) power flow management to prevent dc lines from overloading in some scenarios.

Inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) resonant converters have a couple of appealing characteristics for applications requiring an isolated DC/DC converter such as minimal switching losses, no reverse ...

Designing Voltage Source Converter (VSC)-based DC grids presents a significant challenge in providing dependable and cost-effective protection against short-circuit faults. Given the increased ...

The local thermal conductivity in certain oxides can be precisely defined by a voltage-biased AFM tip, a new CiQUS study shows Overheating in electronic devices affects how it works and how long it ...

Researchers probed the transit of cations across a nanopore membrane for the generation of osmotic energy. The team controlled the passage of cations across the membrane using a voltage applied to a ...

Abstract: In this study, the effect of current flowthrough electrical parts on galvanic corrosion behavior was investigated. To predict the corrosion rate of galvanic coupled electrical parts, an ...

The analogy that electrons flowing in wires is like water flowing through a tube can be remarkably effective. In this installment, the basics of that analogy are discussed. The analogy that electrons ...
