A Rectifier converts Alternating current into Direct current
A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.
a typical example of a d.c current device is a generator it supplies current directly to houses
An alternator is a device that converts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). If you need to convert AC to DC, then you need a rectifier.
DC direct current is be coming more popular than AC alternating current AC is not really suitable for some devices maybe your device is needing low current
the answer is yes as long as the device works on dc current and not ac current if you tell me what the device is i might be able to help further
Yes but is somewhat complicated to get good level DC from an AC source.================================Answer #1.5 :All electronic devices operate on DC ... radios, TVs, computers, stereos, etc.If the device plugs into the wall outlet for power to operate, then the AC fromthe wall outlet is used to produce DC internally to run the device.
DC direct current
Direct current (DC)
Batteries are DC current.
A "generator" usually produces DC current. An "alternator" usually produces AC current. Older cars up to the 1960's used generators. Newer cars use alternators (simpler design) with diode rectifiers to convert the AC to DC. Batteries are DC. Some electronic circuitry (inverters) can change DC to AC.
Batteries by definition have to be DC. While u can convert DC to AC, with a device called an Inverter, none is built into a car battery. and chances are your car doesn't even have an Inverter anywhere in it. so car is DC. in addition modern cars use 12 volts, and for the record, AC and DC are not a "type of volt," they are types of current, (Direct Current, Alternating Current).
