By a DC power supply that runs at 230 volts AC. Basically, you need a full wave rectifier (4 diodes) to convert AC into all positive voltage. Then you need capacitors to smooth out the ripple and then various resistors to reduce the voltage.

A power supply receives 120 volts of power from a wall outlet and converts it to?
A power supply receives 120 volts of AC power from a wall outlet and converts it to 3.3, 5, and 12 volts of DC power.
How many amps DC is 12 volts 1.5 amps at 5 volts?
You have your own answer. It is 1.5 amps.
What is the current in an AC circuit with a 120-volts and a 60 watt light bulb?
Power = Volts x Amps ( P= V*A) Therefore Amps = P/V in this case .5 amps
How do you convert 5 volts to 12 volts?
The 12 v side ampere rating is unnecessary information (You need 5 watts output power, so if the input is 12 volts, you need around 1/2A input current). Use a DC to DC converter. I found an IC made for this purpose at Radio Shack several years ago - I assume they are still available if you are a hobbyist. Otherwise you can buy premade ones (search for 12v to 5v converter).
What if you only get 118 volts on a 120 outlet?
There is no problem with that voltage. As long as the voltage is plus or minus 5% of the nominal voltage of 115 volts it is considered to be in the 120 volt range.

What is use of rms value?
Because alternating current (AC) voltage varies over time, to the positive and negative, an actual AC voltage measurement will not be the same as a DC voltage measurement. For example: 5 volts DC is 5 volts constantly, viewed over time. The average voltage is 5 volts. 5 volts AC (from zero to peak) is not actually 5 volts constantly, but varies between 5 volts and 0 volts over time. The average voltage will not be 5 volts. Using RMS AC values is designed to make AC and DC measurements equivalent, for example 5 volts DC and 5 volts RMS AC are almost identical.

What is the open circuit potential difference?
Of what ? ! ? It's typically a few volts DC for a battery, 120 volts AC for a household outlet in North America, either zero or 5 volts DC at the output of a TTL logic device, and anything at all for various kinds of oscillators, drivers, or power supplies.
Charging device that requires 100-240 volts ac to produce 29 5 volts dc 1500 ma can you use a 12volt dc inverter to make this work?
It should work just fine, first you jack up your car voltage to 120 AC, and then drop it to 29.5 volts DC Except for losses, it should be draining about 44 watts, or about 3 and 2/3 amps from your battery
What voltages does a computer's power supply convert 120 volts of alternating current from a wall outlet into?
A personal computer's power supply receives 120 volts of AC and converts it to 3.3, 5, 12 volts of DC power.Another answerThe secondary voltage could be any number of voltages depending on what the power supply was designed for. Your best bet is to get a DC voltmeter and measure the output voltage of each wire on the output side.
What is the current in an ac circuit with 120-volts and a 60 -watt light bulb?
Current or amperage, is wattage divided by voltage. 60 / 120 = .5 amp.

How much dc voltage to be applied for test equivalent to 5 kv ac?
5 kV ac means 5 kV rms, which represents a peak voltage of 5 x sqrt (2) kV, or 7.07 kV. So the dc test should provide 7070 volts.
How do you get 3.5 VAC from 120 VAC?
The most convenient way of changing AC voltages is with a transformer. Depending on what the load amperage needed will govern the sizing of the transformer. These types of transformers just plug into the wall receptacle for the primary 120 voltage side. For the secondary side you just need to find an adapter that outputs 3 to 5 volts AC. Read the nameplate on the adapter because a lot of them have a rectifier in them that changes the AC output voltage to DC output. Do not use the DC output adapter on an AC required load.
Can you plug a 120 volt appliance to 110 volt outlet?
Yes, normally, assuming it's 60 cycle (hertz) AC. In the USA, 110 volts as such is no longer used, it's really 120 plus or minus about 5 volts everywhere.
