Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main function of an inverter in power electronics?
  • Step 1: Understand what direct current (DC) is. DC is a type of electrical current that flows in one direction.
  • Step 2: Understand what alternating current (AC) is. AC is a type of electrical current that changes direction periodically.
  • Step 3: Learn that an inverter is a device used in power electronics.
  • Step 4: Know that the main job of an inverter is to take DC electricity and change it into AC electricity.
  • Step 5: Realize that this conversion is important for many applications, like powering household appliances that use AC.
