To power conventional electronics in practical application, the alternating current (AC) generated by nonlinear PEH needs to be transformed into a direct current (DC) and rectifying circuits are required to interface the device and electronic load.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA): uses high-frequency alternating current to generate heat that can destroy pathological tissue.
Fatigue in damascene copper lines has been investigated by using alternating currents to generate cyclic temperatures and stresses/strains.
An alternating current induced plasma generating assembly was constructed for simultaneous polymerization and doping of pyrrole with iodine.
Moreover, an alternative way to view this situation is to recognize that a constant electric force (i.e., the kind that drives a direct current) and an alternating force (the kind that generates alternating current) can behave quite differently in a cluster.
In RFA, the high-frequency alternating current from the electrode generates marked agitation of the ions in the tissue that surrounds the uninsulated tip of the probe.
Nearly all generators used to supply electric power networks generate alternating current, which reverses polarity at a fixed frequency (usually 50 or 60 cycles, or double reversals, per second).
It was necessary to use a lower frequency (16 2/3 hertz is common in Europe; 25 hertz in the United States); this in turn required either special railroad power plants to generate alternating current at the required frequency or frequency-conversion equipment to change the available commercial frequency into the railroad frequency.
A smaller 671-kW head-end power (HEP) engine is used to generate alternating current power for "hotel services" in the passenger cars, such as lighting, heating, and cooling.
This paper reviews the epidemiologic evidence that low frequency electromagnetic fields generated by alternating current may be a cause of cancer.
This alternating current causes agitation of ions, which generates frictional heat.
