the work is done in the power supply box (the metal box part in the computer, the one you plug the power cord into). It converts AC to DC via Transformers, rectifiers, and voltage regulators and has extra circuitry in there to make sure that the voltage doesn't ripple (with the changes in the AC voltage) or spike (e.g., when you first turn it on)
What else can I help you with?
Can you use an AC Dimmer Switch on a DC fan?
No, an AC dimmer switch is designed to work with AC-powered devices, not DC. DC fans require a different type of dimmer switch specifically rated for DC power. Using an AC dimmer switch on a DC fan can potentially damage the fan or the switch itself.
Does a computer use AC or dc power?
Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.
What are the differences between an AC cable and a DC cable, and how do these variances impact their functionality and applications?
The main difference between an AC cable and a DC cable is the type of electrical current they carry. AC cables transmit alternating current, which changes direction periodically, while DC cables transmit direct current, which flows in one direction consistently. These variances impact their functionality and applications because devices are designed to work with either AC or DC power. AC is commonly used in homes and businesses for powering appliances and electronics, while DC is often used in electronics like computers and mobile devices. The choice of AC or DC cable depends on the specific requirements of the device being powered.
Is fluorescent lights fixtures ac or dc?
The basic fluorescent light fixture is AC, although there are fluorescent lights powered by DC.
What is the type of current ceiling fans produce?
I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but.. AC-Alternating current. Electricity flows through a circuit in one direction, then changes direction and goes back the other way. This happens 60 times per second in the US. (60Hz) The US power distribution system is AC. DC-Direct Current. Electricity flows through a circuit in only one direction continuously. Batteries powering a flashlight, for example, are DC. Well, all batteries are DC. Like I said, I've never heard of a DC ceiling fan, but the DC fan's motor is designed to run on DC (such as batteries) only, and the AC fan motor is designed to run on AC only. I have heard however of a solar powered attic ventilator, which would be a DC fan. If there is a DC ceiling fan, however, keep in mind it needs a power source, and you won't be able to hook it up to the electrical box in the ceiling. That box is AC. The power source for a DC ceiling fan is likely replaceable batteries or solar cells, neither of which will make for a very robust fan.
Is fan operating in ac voltage?
A fans blades are driven by motors. Since there are both AC and DC motors, fans can be AC or DC. The fans in your computer are DC fans. Your ceiling fans are AC fans. (Thanks for fixing my answer)
How many fans do AC DC have?
a lot
Does a fan use DC electricity?
A fan can use both voltages depending on what the manufacturer nameplates the motor voltage to be. AC is the most common voltage but some smaller fans like power supply fans in computers use a DC voltage. Check the fan motor's nameplate to supply the correct voltage.
Can you use an AC Dimmer Switch on a DC fan?
No, an AC dimmer switch is designed to work with AC-powered devices, not DC. DC fans require a different type of dimmer switch specifically rated for DC power. Using an AC dimmer switch on a DC fan can potentially damage the fan or the switch itself.
Why should you not use dc motor in fans?
yes. we can use...but normally generated power is Ac. so availability of dc is require a converter..
Is their any other difference between ac and dc current?
Yes, there is. AC = Alternating Current, the direction of the current alternates, thus the name. DC = Direct Current. Things like computers need DC (they use a AC to DC converter inside the power supply to convert it) Hope that helps a bit.
Who has more fans ACDC or Iron Maiden?
Well, probably AC/DC because they're more popular.
Does a computer use AC or dc power?
Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.
Ac to DC formula?
formula for ac to dc
Is there any possibilty of ac and DC flows in conductor at a time and get DC and AC with two reference AC and DC?
A typical AC waveform is symmetrical about a zero crossing point. You can bias the AC with DC such that the AC waveform is symmetrical about the DC voltage.
What are the different types of motors used in Broan bathroom fans?
The different types of motors used in Broan bathroom fans are typically either AC motors or DC motors. AC motors are more common and are powered by alternating current, while DC motors are powered by direct current. Both types of motors are used in Broan fans to provide efficient and reliable operation.
What are the advantages of using a DC motor in a ceiling fan compared to a traditional AC motor?
DC motors in ceiling fans offer advantages such as energy efficiency, quieter operation, and variable speed control compared to traditional AC motors.
