The frequency of 50 Hertz (or 60 Hertz in other countries) was selected to reduce inductive power losses caused by long distance power line transmission and still enable alternating current to be converted to various voltages and currents using moderate sized Transformers at the point of power use.
The higher the power frequency the higher the inductive losses over a length of power transmission line.
For this reason frequencies higher than 60 Hertz are avoided.
Where possible electrical power transmission over long distances these days is accomplished with high voltage direct current, which is converted to alternating current near the usage areas.

How many planetarium are there in India?
50
Why the freqency of India is taken 50 hz?
A lot of points are factored when a utility decides to choose 50 or 60 hz, compare with america the machinces are constructed with 60 hz frequency and another reason is america is ecnomically better than the india so when freqency is high the power transmisson is at high rate and loosses also high.when they are economically good so for redusing the looses they are using good insulaters.
Where India stands in population density?
Well obviously India has a high population density of about 50 people a metre square
Will a Japanese Famicom aka Japanese Nintendo mess up if it is plugged into an American outlet?
No, that's just a myth. It will work if plugged in correctly. Always check the voltage of a foreign device before plugging it in. Mayny electronic devices nowadays use switching powersupplies with wide input voltage ranges. As it is cheaper to design one supply capable of handling 100-240VAC on the input as opposed to one for each country's individual supply, they do that instead. On the power block or on the back of the unit there will be a sticker or molding that says the input voltage range. If it says 220V only, it cannot be used directly in the US, special steps are needed. If it says 120V, or a range encompasing 120V, it will work. Also note the line frequency. Again, most devices don't care (The first thing a switcher does is rectify it to DC), but if it doesn't say 60hz it will not work correctly. You have to use a converter. Because Japanese things have a different voltage level than America. Japan uses 100V, which is 60 hertz in western Japan and 50 hertz in eastern Japan. Radio Shack sells the converter you need.

What is mains frequency in India?
50Hz
What is the frequency of electric supply in Pakistan?
50 cycle per sec
What is the difference between 50 Hertz and 61 Hertz?
Frequency is determined by the supply voltage, not by the load. However, for reactive loads (inductors or capacitors), the reactance will vary according to the frequency applied.
How is the term hetz abbreviated Hz related to a waves frequency?
It's "hertz", not "hetz". The number of hertz is the frequency. For example, if the current has a frequency of 50 hertz... well, that's the frequency. Hertz is equivalent to cycles/second, and it is sometimes written that way. So, 50 hertz could also be written as 50 cycles/second.
What is the frequency of thunder in general?
50 hertz
What is the frequency of household electricity?
In North America, it is 60 Hertz, and in Europe it is 50 hertz.
What is the generated electrical line frequency in Bahrain?
50 Hz as per the info available from their official website
What is the standard electricity service voltage used in India?
In most parts of the world this is 50 Hz, although in the Americas it is typically 60 Hz. Current usage by country or region is given in the list of mains power around the world at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency
If a wave has a wavelength of 10 mm and a frequency of 5.0 hertz what is the speed?
Wavelength= 10 mm. Frequency= 5.0 hertz. Speed= 50 mm/second (wavelength x frequency)
Will 240 V support 50Hz?
Yes, 240 volts is generated at 50 Hertz. This is a European frequency where as the frequency generated in North America is 60 Hertz.
What is the frequency of the wave who's time period is 0.02 secs?
Frequency = 1/0.02 = 50 cycles per second or 50 Hertz
What frequency Hz is used for the national electricity service in Israel?
50 hertz.
