DC to AC Reverse Polarity Using Capacitors, Inductors, & Transformers

18.6K views on YouTube

This electronics video tutorial explains how to temporarily reverse the direction of an electric current using capacitors, inductors, and transformers. It’s by taking advantage of the charging and discharging capabilities of these reactive elements that makes it possible to create a reverse polarity across a load resistor. In effect, you can convert dc to ac with these circuit components.
