Electrical Help at Your Fingertips

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..

Direct current (DC) is an electric current that flows in one direction only. This means that the voltage of a DC signal does not change over time. DC signals are typically generated by batteries or solar cells.

Alternating current, on the other hand, is generated by power plants and flows through the power grid to homes and businesses. Read more..
