how much energy is lost in converting dc energy to ac energy
To produce it and distribute it, ac is much easier.
An electrical generator, these can produce AC or DC electric current.
mainly AC but can be DC if done correctly
AC !
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
It should produce 14.5v +/- and it's DC.
No. Batteries can only produce dc current which can further be converted to AC using inverters.
how much energy is lost in converting dc energy to ac energy
Most diesel generators are designed to produce alternating current (AC) electricity. However, there are some diesel generators that can also produce direct current (DC) electricity with the help of rectifiers or inverters.
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.
Alternators produce AC, which is rectified by diodes if DC is needed. Dynamos produce DC by using a commutator.
