Power electronics

Power electronics is a way of controlling and converting electricity so you can use it in different devices. It works by changing the amount of voltage and current going through the system. This is done by using special circuits and components like transistors and diodes. By doing this, you can use the same amount of electricity but use it in different ways. For example, you can convert the electricity into a different form or you can use it to turn on or off lights, motors and other devices.
