  "term": "Voltage multiplier",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "An electronic circuit that converts an alternating current (AC) input voltage into a higher direct current (DC) output voltage. It uses a network of diodes and capacitors to charge capacitors in parallel and discharge them in series. This circuit is often employed in applications requiring high DC voltages from a lower AC source, such as in X-ray machines.",
