Is AC DC the same as AC db?

No, db is a measurement of decibels/signal loss or gain. AC (alternating current) is an electric waveform that varies from positive to negative like you would have in your home or off a transformer, DC (direct current) is a constant value with reference to another point like from battery power or your car. Some devices and appliances will run on both types of power which is why they say ac/dc compatible.

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.


How do you calculate the ac amps when you have the DC volts DC amps and the ac volts?

the answer is dc volts are rectified from ac volts and the amperage will be the same unless you account for the slight drop from the rectifier. dc volts from a battery have no relationship to ac volts. you can derive ac volts from a dc source using an inverter.


Will value of J be same if ac were used instead of dc?

The number of Joules (energy) is the same as dc provided the RMS values of the ac quantities are used.

There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.

Power factor of dc ballast is 0.8. what will be the power factor same ballast in AC?

Power factor is an AC only term, and has no meaning for DC.


How do you change dc values to ac values?

To convert DC values to AC values if you are wanting RMS values they are the same. 100V DC and 100V AC (RMS) are the same "value". If you want to know the Peak-To-Peak AC value you would multiply the RMS value by 1.414. So 100V AC RMS equals 141.4 V Peak to Peak.


Is there any possibilty of ac and DC flows in conductor at a time and get DC and AC with two reference AC and DC?

A typical AC waveform is symmetrical about a zero crossing point. You can bias the AC with DC such that the AC waveform is symmetrical about the DC voltage.

What is a difference between DC and ac resistance and expline DC resistasce?

DC is just direct current into a resistance it is a linear function. AC if the resistance is non reactive it would be the same linear function.


Is a AC adapter the same as a charger?

An ac adapter converts ac current into dc current through a rectifier, and a battery charger outputs dc current at an adjustable powerful charging rate and also converts ac current to dc current to charge different sizes of batteries.
