Can we use fluorescent lamp in dc?
Yes, fluorescent lamps may be powered by DC but they need a DC lamp controller instead of an AC ballast and starter. The DC lamp controller is more complex. I have a 12V lantern with fluorescent lamp tubes.
Is ac DC dead?
ac dc is a band and not a person to die
Do phones use ac or dc?
Some devices operate on AC and others on DC. Generally, anything that uses mains electricity (120V US, 240V UK) is using AC electricity and things that use batteries or are rechargable like cell phones, ipods, personal CD, use DC electricity.
What component converts AC into clean DC power?
By using rectification we can convert the AC into DC....
Is home elect ac currant?
DC current is not used in home wiring. It may be used to power a door bell, alarm system, under counter lights, etc, that uses a transformer powered by AC that converts the power to DC. Other than that homes are wired for AC current only.
If AC is replaced by DC in a fluorescent lamp circuit will the circuit work?
No.

Would ac or dc be better in lighting circuits in parallel?
Depends on the application. Lights in your house are in parallel with AC and lights in your car are in parallel with DC.
Are Christmas lights ac or dc current?
Christmas light have always been AC.
Is there a difference with AC or DC output of Xenon lights?
yes, there is a difference.. you cant get a maximum focus in AC but when DC is used you can get maximum focus..
What changes are to be made for a fluorescent lamp circuit to work if ac supply is replaced by dc?
A fluorescent light fixture is designed to operate on an AC voltage supply. To have the fixture operate off of a DC supply a power inverter would have to be installed. The power inverter would then change the DC to AC for the fixture to operate. These power inverters are reasonably priced these days and can be bought at most DIY stores.
Does tube light work with ac or dc?
Fluorescent lights work just fine on DC voltage, BUT one needs a current limited power source to stabilize the circuit against the negative resistance of the gas discharge. This can be done with either a resistor or an electronic circuit. The resistor solution is too lossy because excess voltage from the dc csupply has to be converted to heat across the resistor. Electronic switching supplies could supply a fluorescent light with a dc voltage and current without the losses. But that's technological overkill and most circuits still supply AC.
Do strobe lights use ac or dc current to flash?
Strobe lights use ac or alternating current to flash. The frequency of 50 Hz is alternating current's frequency, coming in handy for its flashing.
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.
Ac to DC formula?
formula for ac to dc
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.
