AC vs DC Electricity – An Introduction To Analog Electronics
Posted September 5, 2013 by Chris
Are you ready for another Analog Electronics lesson? We are! This week we will explore more about AC vs DC Electricity. Here’s a quick intro of what this PyroEDU lesson is all about:
Understanding the difference between DC and AC electricity is the first step towards understanding analog electronics. In this less we will go over some theory about what AC electricity is, what it looks like and how it is different from DC electricity. Additionally, we will build an example AC circuit that generates a tone.
