AC power sources are the adapter power sources. DC power sources are the direct power sources. DC stands for direct current, meaning it is a direct source of energy., and AC stands for alternating current, which means it is a secondary source of power.


Battery ac or DC?

Batteries can provide both AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) power, depending on the type of device they are connected to. However, most batteries themselves supply DC power. Devices that require AC power typically use an inverter to convert the battery's DC power into AC power.


Why ac is more effective than DC?

because power dissipated in ac is less than power dissipated in dc.


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.


Why is AC better than DC?

AC power can be transmitted more efficiently than DC.


Does a computer use AC or dc power?

Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.
