We get an alternating wave with a dc shift. The dc component is not present in an ac wave. When they are mixed, the dc component gets included along with the sine wave.
No conflict .They live happily together. Easy to separate them if required.

∙ 8y agoyou can connect AC and DC current sources in parallel.
A very common example of this is the POTS (plain old (analog) telephone service signal used for 100 years or so, it carries DC of signalling and power and some AC for the ringer.
Another case of this is POE, power over ethernet.
In instrument systems its quite frequently used to combine power and signals to/from a sensor so only one pair of wires is used: examples 4-20 milliamp loop transmitters and so-called ICP accelerometers.
It's a bit more commplicated than just hooking plus and minus from a battery to the AC mains which would be smoke city as neither are considered current sources, as they are voltage sources. Isolation and separation circuits are required to safely combine and separate the two components safely and efficiently.

Is a AC adapter the same as a charger?
An ac adapter converts ac current into dc current through a rectifier, and a battery charger outputs dc current at an adjustable powerful charging rate and also converts ac current to dc current to charge different sizes of batteries.
Battery ac or DC?
A battery supplies DC.
Can rheostat run on AC current and DC current?
yes
How does an ac power source differ from a dc power source?
AC power sources are the adapter power sources. DC power sources are the direct power sources. DC stands for direct current, meaning it is a direct source of energy., and AC stands for alternating current, which means it is a secondary source of power.
What are two types of electrical currents?
The two types of electric current are AC and DC currents.
What device converts dc current to ac current?
A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.
What is the sign for ac and DC current?
AC means alternating current DC means direct current there is no polarity reversal
What is the difference between ac and dc grounding?
The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.
What are the two kinds electricity?
Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

Does a fan run on a dc current or ac current?
AC
Which is the device that converts AC to DC?
A Rectifier converts Alternating current into Direct current
What is DC-AC?
AC/DC is a rock band. Their name refers to "alternating current direct current.
Did ceiling fan operate on dc or ac current?
ac current
What IS AC power and DC power?
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
How can identify AC and DC?
DC is direct current, and is characterized by its steady flow of current. AC is alternating current. It is characterized by increases and decreases in the current.
What IS AC DC?
AnswerThere is a hard rock band called AC/DC .In electrical jargon, AC is short for alternating current and DC is short for Direct current.
Is ac or DC current easier to interrupt?
dc
