- After leaving the University of Nottingham in 1882, Fleming took up the post of "electrician" to the Edison Electrical Light Company, advising on lighting systems and the new Ferranti alternating current systems.
- The variation in the magnetic field induces a small alternating current at a particular frequency, which represents a signal similar to a sine wave.
- This mains hum results in a tone of 50 or 60 cycles per second depending on the powerline frequency of the local alternating current supply.
- For electrical systems which use alternating current, the electrodes are the connections from the circuitry to the object to be acted upon by the electric current but are not designated anode or cathode because the direction of flow of the electrons changes periodically, usually many times per second.
- Central power stations became economically practical with the development of alternating current (AC) power transmission, using power transformers to transmit power at high voltage and with low loss.
- The alternating current power-line frequency of 60 Hz was the primary clock rate for the lowest-level operations.
- A diode clamp circuit can take a periodic alternating current signal that oscillates between positive and negative values, and vertically displace it such that either the positive or the negative peaks occur at a prescribed level.
- CP was the first railway in North America to pioneer alternating current (AC) traction diesel-electric locomotives in 1984.
- The control of a turbine with a governor is essential, as turbines need to be run up slowly to prevent damage and some applications (such as the generation of alternating current electricity) require precise speed control.
- The output signal was at a carrier frequency defined by the physical construction of the gap, modulated by the alternating current signal from the alternator.
- The power conditioning system uses an inverter/rectifier to transform alternating current (AC) power to direct current or convert DC back to AC power.
- Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for blocking direct current while allowing alternating current to pass.
- An electrosynthesis employing alternating current gives phenol from benzene.
- Familiar examples of oscillation include a swinging pendulum and alternating current.
- A steel-hulled ship can be "degaussed" (more correctly, de-oerstedted or depermed) using a special degaussing station that contains many large coils and induces a magnetic field in the hull with alternating current to demagnetize the hull.
- data type to represent complex numbers, partly because of pressure from the electrical engineering department, as complex numbers are used to represent the behavior of alternating current.
- Powered model railways are now generally operated by low voltage direct current (DC) electricity supplied via the tracks, but there are exceptions, such as Märklin and Lionel Corporation, which use alternating current (AC).
- In 1874, he discovered that a point-contact metal–semiconductor junction rectifies alternating current.
