Batteries produce DC because the potential difference is determined by the chemical reaction inside the battery. This voltage is constant.

Does ac dc mean it can run on battery or plug into wall?
AC - Alternating Current, same thing that comes out of a wall socket DC - Direct Current, batteries. <<>> When a device has AC/DC on its name plate, it can work off either of the two voltages. Many portable radios have this function. When the radio is plugged into AC, the voltage is transformed to the working DC voltage and then rectified to a DC voltage. When the radio is on battery operation, the radio operated strictly from the DC voltage supplied by the batteries. The change between voltages from AC to DC or DC to AC is almost instantaneously. This change over is done through an AC powered relay in the radio. When the AC held in relay looses its supply it de energizes and switches over to DC power if the batteries are in the radio. With batteries in the radio try it. Plug into the AC supply, turn on the radio that has batteries installed in it, unplug the AC supply and the radio will not miss a beat.
Are 6 Volt Car batteries AC or DC current?
DC definitely, all car batteries - all batteries.
Is a 9 volt battery ac or DC?
All Batteries are DC or Direct Current.
Does a transformer rectify the alternating current?
No, a transformer changes the ac to a voltage that the user requires. After that a rectifier can be connected to it to provide dc.

Batteries are car batteries ac or DC?
dc
What is the difference between ac voltage and dc voltage?
access current ( like plugs in your house ) direct current (like batteries)
Do radios run on batteries?
Some can be, and some are run by electricity. They all run on electricity. But some run on DC battery voltage and some run on AC household voltage. Some can even run on DC or AC voltage. All automobile radios run on DC battery voltage.
What is used to provide the proper voltage to a CPU?
A power supply that transforms AC to DC is used to provide the proper voltage to a CPU.
Is battery ac or DC?
Batteries are DC
How do you convert 23 voltage DC to 230 Voltage AC?
How do you convert 23 voltage DC to 230 Voltage AC?
Which type of current is used in batteries and which is used in household outlets?
Batteries provide Direct Current (DC) while household outlets provide Alternating Current (AC).
What doaes ac DC stand for?
The two forms of Electricity are AC and DC. AC Stands for Alernating Current and DC stands for Direct Current. AC electricity comes out of the Powerpoint that your computer is probably using and DC electricity is used in 5.1 voltage batteries that probably power your flashlight or toy.
Can you measure ac mains voltage with dc voltmeter or high dc voltage with ac meter?
You cant.
