  2. Direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    Types of direct current. The term DC is used to refer to power systems that use only one electrical polarity of voltage or current, and to refer to the constant, zero-frequency, or slowly varying local mean value of a voltage or current. [9] For example, the voltage across a DC voltage source is constant as is the current through a direct ...

  3. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, ... (in amperes) can be calculated with the following equation: =, where Q is the electric ...

  4. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    Ohm's law, in the form above, is an extremely useful equation in the field of electrical/electronic engineering because it describes how voltage, current and resistance are interrelated on a "macroscopic" level, that is, commonly, as circuit elements in an electrical circuit.

  5. Kirchhoff's circuit laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff's_circuit_laws

    The current entering any junction is equal to the current leaving that junction. i 2 + i 3 = i 1 + i 4. This law, also called Kirchhoff's first law, or Kirchhoff's junction rule, states that, for any node (junction) in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node; or equivalently:

  6. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    A block diagram of a bipolar HVDC transmission system, between two stations designated A and B. AC – represents an alternating current network CON – represents a converter valve, either rectifier or inverter, TR represents a power transformer, DCTL is the direct-current transmission line conductor, DCL is a direct-current filter inductor ...

  7. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    The current density inside round wire away from the influences of other fields, as function of distance from the axis is given by: [6]: 38 Current density in round wire for various skin depths. Numbers shown on each curve are the ratio of skin depth to wire radius. The curve shown with the infinity sign is the zero frequency (DC) case.

  8. Joule heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_heating

    The most fundamental formula for Joule heating is the generalized power equation: = where P {\displaystyle P} is the power (energy per unit time) converted from electrical energy to thermal energy, I {\displaystyle I} is the current travelling through the resistor or other element,

  9. Brushed DC electric motor - Wikipedia
