That probably refers to an AC current or an AC voltage. That means that the electrical current is not continuously flowing in one direction, but changes direction all the time - typically at a frequency of 50 or 60 cycles per second in the case of household current. Similar for the voltage.
A solar collector, or solar panel is what collects solar energy. The energy that is generated by the solar collector is then routed to either a battery or an inverter that converts the energy to AC voltage.
Some use AC electric power from a wall outlet. Some use DC electric power from a rechargeable battery (but this was originally charged using AC electric power from a wall outlet).
That's not the role of an inverter. An inverter is used to change DC to AC, NOT to store energy. If you want to store electrical energy, consider a battery.
The circuit needs some sort of energy source. This can be a battery/cell, or an AC outlet for example.
It changes it because the water flows through a wheel, which is kinetic energy, when the wheel is moving it produces electrical energy.
how much energy is lost in converting dc energy to ac energy
The AC is taking energy
how much energy is lost in converting dc energy to ac energy
mainly AC but can be DC if done correctly
The energy can come from many different sources.
Conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy
ac
alternating current electricity, or AC current, or AC.
The device which convert mechanical energy in to electrical energy is "Dynamo".
nowadays to every single type of energy. such ac magnetic energy, chemical energy, kinetic energy,etc
Electrical energy is usually AC, because AC can be stepped up to higher voltages with a transformer for transmission over smaller wires, and then stepped back down to serviceble levels with another transformer.
