AC power for houses comes from generators. The most common type of generator has a boiler running on coal or oil that heats water converting it into steam that goes to a turbine that provides energy via a rotating shaft to the generator. Wires carry the electrical energy to the customers.

What form of electricity comes out of a Wave Generator?
It depends on how the generator is set up. Some will produce DC (Direct Current) and others will produce AC (Alternating Current). Where possible AC electricity will be produced as it runs through the grid without much loss of power.
In a photovoltaic power plant what is the purpose of the inverter?

Does the generator at a power station produce AC or DC?
A basic generator always creates an AC current, but some generators take the AC current and converts it to DC, such as a car's alternator to charge your battery. A DC current can also be converted into AC power, such as a car equipped with a household outlet. ADDED: It's not the alternator itself that produces the d.c. for a car's electrical system, but a rectifier. This is normally located within the alternator casing, but electrically it is still a separate component that converts the alternator's output.
What is a limiting circuit?
Limiting circuits use 'clippers' to keep the input power within a set range in case of AC or below a set power level in DC circuitry. The limiting property of the circuit is that it modifies the input to produce a signal that is within a desired range.
Does ac current produce magnetic field?
Yes; any current produces a magnetic field, an AC current will produce an alternating magnetic field. If the current (and therefore the magnetic field) changes quickly, you may not be able to detect it with a compass needle, for example.
Is ac or dc power cheaper to produce?
To produce it and distribute it, ac is much easier.
Can oil be used to produce AC?
If it is burned to power a generator then yes it can.
Does a car run on AC or DC?
The power supply in most cars is DC. The alternator may produce AC power, but it is then run through a rectifier, providing DC power.
What kind of electricity do dams create?
hydroelectric power They produce what is called 3-phase AC power.
Why will a dc motor produce v but not an ac motor?
Motors do not produce voltage, current, or power. They use them.they produce mechanical output.
What is the difference between an electic motor and an electic generator?
AC motor produce mechanical power and absorbed electric energy the power generator produce electrical power absorbed mechanical power
Why do power plants produce AC power naturally?
AC (alternating current) is the primary form of electricity because it can be generated at very high voltages and sent across many, many miles of carrying lines.
Can a ac motor produce electricity?
Technically YES. But the source of power in Electric cars being DC through batteries, the motor must be DC and not AC.
How can you make a 15v ac generator to produce 50v ac?
somehow
ABS sensor produce AC voltage or DC voltage?
AC !
What IS AC power and DC power?
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
Is it possible to get a battery to produce ac current?
No. Batteries can only produce dc current which can further be converted to AC using inverters.
