How many hertz in direct current?

Direct current has no frequency, it has voltage. also it has current that is measured in Amperes which is dependable of the resistance of the circuit. Alternating current has frequency because the electricity flows alternatively on both directions. If the frequency of AC is 50hz/s it means that the electricity flows forwards and backwards 50 times per second.


What does 60 cycles mean in electrical terms?

60 cycles is also called 60 Hertz. This is the frequency of the sine wave for AC voltage. It means there are 60 repetitions of the wave every second.Answer'60 cycles' is a lazy or slang expression for '60 cycles per second', which is a measure of the line frequency of North American electricity supplies (in Europe and elsewhere, it's 50). Under SI, the 'cycle per second' has been replaced by the 'hertz' (Hz). So we now say, '60 Hz'.


When electricity leaves the power plant it is measured in what unit?

There are lots of different units for electricity, depending what aspect you want to measure (power, energy, current, voltage, frequency, etc.).For a power plant, some relevant units include: * Volt, for voltage * Ampere, for current * Watt, for power * Hertz, for frequency

What property of modulating frequency is varied for frequency deviation?

FM is the carrier property when terms like `frequency deviation' are used. Unlike AM, which has a single frequency, and the frequency is modulated by increasing the amplitude of the frequency, with FM, it's the frequency itself that is changed, either by making the frequency a bit higher or lower from the actual stated frequency. For instance, a FM radio station located at 100.00 on the dial will have the frequency deviate by plus or minus 75 kilohertz (+100.075 HZ or - 99.925 HZ.) or more commonly referred to as a bandwidth of 150 KHZ. for 100% modulation.
