Best Answer

The line current used in a telephone system is DC. The actual line voltage used depends on the particular make and type of telephone system.

The voltage is supplied by Hugh batteries which are kept fully charged most of the time, except, of course when there is a general power outage. If an outage goes on for more than a short time, most telephone companies in developed contries have standby generators - running on diesel or petrol - to ensure their batteries stay charged-up.

Why amplification of ac signal is easier than a dc signal?

The Amplification is much high during acmode because of transister conducts boththe Half cycles.But in DC the transister conducts only in positive half cycles.So the Amplification of AC signal greater than DC signal.

What is the difference between in ac and dc powwer cable?

There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.
