Definition that contains alternating current
- choke a coil of low resistance and high inductance used in electrical circuits to pass direct current and attenuate alternating current
- transform increase or decrease (an alternating current or voltage)
- tesla United States electrical engineer and inventor (born in Croatia but of Serbian descent) who discovered the principles of alternating currents and developed the first alternating-current induction motor and the Tesla coil and several forms of oscillators (1856-1943)
- transformer an electrical device by which alternating current of one voltage is changed to another voltage
- alternator an old term for an electric generator that produces alternating current (especially in automobiles)
- kennelly United States electrical engineer noted for his work on the theory of alternating currents; independently of Oliver Heaviside he discovered the existence of an atmospheric layer that reflects radio waves back to earth (1861-1939)
- inverter an electrical converter that converts direct current into alternating current
- oscillator generator that produces sonic oscillations or alternating current
- rectification the conversion of alternating current to direct current
- arthur edwin kennelly United States electrical engineer noted for his work on the theory of alternating currents; independently of Oliver Heaviside he discovered the existence of an atmospheric layer that reflects radio waves back to earth (1861-1939)
