Is galvanometer generator alternating current or direct current needed to operate an electric motor?

That depends if it is an ac or dc motor.


Why DC ammeter or voltmeter is not used in AC circuits?

Short answer, because it is designed for DC, not AC.In AC, the current goes back and forth all the time; the average current is zero. And that's what a galvanometer that is not especially designed for AC would show.


Ammeter is a device used for measuring?

Measures current, both AC or DC, usually in Amps.


What device converts dc current to ac current?

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.
