The ‘arrowhead’ shape of a diode points in the direction of conventional current, as do the ‘arrowhead’s in transistors. But it’s easy to remember that electrons flow against the arrows.

In contrast to alternating current, or AC, which, depending on the supply's frequency, switches direction 50 or 60 times per second, the current in DC circuits flows only in one direction.

What looks like ordinary sand, rocks or snow flowing in one direction can actually hide swirling currents that move in ...

They obtained this parabolic or Poiseuille current profile by studying electrons travelling through a conducting graphene channel sandwiched between two hexagonal boron nitride layers equipped with ...

Juvenile loggerhead turtles swim into oncoming ocean currents, instead of passively drifting with them. After loggerhead turtle hatchlings leave nesting beaches, they live in the ocean for 7-12 ...

The motor is driven in bipolar mode, meaning the switched-on MOSFETs determine the direction of current flow through the winding of each phase.

Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a passive and vital component that restricts current flow to one direction only, while mechanical engineers ...
