The simplest complete circuit is a piece of wire from one end of a battery to the other. An electric current can flow in the wire from one end of the battery to the other, but nothing useful happens.

This AC power switch circuit senses the presence of AC current in one outlet of a multi-outlet power strip and switches power to the remaining outlet(s). It utilizes a current transformer, single ...

A general method for measuring AC high voltages is to use a voltage divider, with two resistors in series. The resistors are selected so across one of the elements is some arbitrary fraction (like ...
