AC power supplies are power supplies that use Alternating Current, which means that the current repeatedly changes its direction. AC power supplies are usually mains supplies as they are at a high voltage. Often filtering takes place between the mains supply and the device.

How can a radio use both DC and AC?

Radios use DC power supplies to operate. If a radio is powered from a mains AC supply, a power supply circuit will convert the AC supply to DC. Therefore, a radio may have both a DC and an AC power input but ultimately, the internal circuitry will always use DC.


Why did alternating beat direct?

The main reason for using AC for power supplies is how easily it can be converted from low voltage to high and vice versa. DC is used for special applications, electronic devices for example, and also for exporting and importing power between indepent electric power grids in neighbouring countries.


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.
