Electrical Help at Your Fingertips

Direct current (DC) is an electric current that flows in one direction only. DC is the kind of current produced by batteries, fuel cells, and solar panels. Read more..

An induction motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding.

Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. In other words, the higher the voltage, the higher the current. Read more..

An AC motor works by using electromagnetism to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The alternating current creates a rotating magnetic field that interacts with the armature, or rotor, of the motor to create torque. Read more..
