The frequency of any alternating current (ac) electrical supply always depends on the frequency at which the supply has been generated.
That is true no matter whether it was generated at a power station, for use in a home or factory, or in a dc-to-ac power inverter unit, for use in, say, a vehicle or boat.
Power stations in USA, Canada and other countries generate ac at 60 Hz.
Power stations in countries in Europe and other world areas generate ac at 50 Hz.
"Hz" is short for "hertz" which is the name used internationally for "one cycle per second".

Depends on location. Some countries- 50 Hz/ The US is 60.

Why a sine wave is a simple vertical line in a frequency domain?
A sine wave is a simple vertical line in the frequency domain because the horizontal axis of the frequency domain is frequency, and there is only one frequency, i.e. no harmonics, in a pure sine wave.
What is the diagram of ac current?
Sine wave
Which signal has a wider bandwidth a sine wave with a frequency of 100 hz or a sine wave with a frequency of 200 hz?
The signal that changes at a higher rate occupies greater bandwidth.
What is the Symbol used for AC voltage?
a sine wave (~)
Why it is named sinusoidal wave or sine wave in ac?
It's called a sine wave because the waveform can be reproduced as a graph of the sine or cosine functions sin(x) or cos (x).
How is the speed of an AC motor that's being driven by a constantly changing sine wave voltage effected?
Assuming the sine wave's angular frequency is what's changing, the motor will speed up and slow down in proportion to that frequency.
What are the main differences between AC and DC currents?
An AC waveform is a sine wave and varies from positive to negative with a frequency of 60 Hertz (Cycles per Second). DC is a constant voltage and does not vary like the sine wave.
Why a sine wave is a simple vertical line in a frequency domain?
A sine wave is a simple vertical line in the frequency domain because the horizontal axis of the frequency domain is frequency, and there is only one frequency, i.e. no harmonics, in a pure sine wave.
What is the frequency of an AC sine wave that repeats itself 500 times in one fifth of a second?
2500 hz
Why sine wave is unstable at low frequency?
The sine wave at low frequency is unstable because it can create strong currents that nobody can stop them from
How can you use sine wave in a sentence?
The sine wave, with its repeating pattern, can represent a single frequency with no harmonics.
What is the diagram of ac current?

If 100 cycles of sine wave in 10 sec. the sine would have a?
frequency of 10 hertz
What is the frequency of a sine wave that has a cycle time of 1ms?
1kHz
