For the same bulb, there would be no difference if the AVERAGE power is the same. For DC this is easy....Power = V X I. For AC it is much more complicated, for a purely resistive light bulb, Power = Vrms X I. So for AC the voltage is the "root mean square" of the peaks.
An Alternating Voltage is induced in the secondary winding. When connected to an external load, you will have an alternating current.
AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
Yes, it is true that current supply from generating plants is an alternating current. There is no success found in bulk power generation of direct current ( D.C. ) in a power plant. But yes it is possible to transmit the power in the form of direct current ( High Voltage Direct Current Transmission-HVDC Transmission ) that possible after converting the generated alternating current into direct current with the help of high range converters.
Alternating current - AC, and direct current - DC.
Perhaps you are asking how the voltage of alternating current is measured, to be equivalent to the voltage of a direct current system. Alternating current and direct current have distinct properties. With direct current, voltage is at a constant polarity, and a direct current voltage source will maintain a uniform, constant voltage level. Alternating current reverses polarity at a given frequency and therefore it's voltage continuously varies from a positive peak voltage level, through zero, to a negative peak voltage level, repeating this cycle continuously. For this reason, voltage of an alternating current system, is measured in root-mean-square (rms), which is a voltage, which when multiplied by the current in amperes, calculates power which is equivalent to that of direct current of the same voltage and current values. With a typical sinusoidal waveform, the peak voltage of alternating current is divided by the square root of 2 to determine the rms voltage. The 120 volts output in the wall outlet in our home is actually about 170 peak volts.
Its Alternate Current and Direct Current. I believe Angus Young got the idea for the band name when he say AC/DC on the bottom of his sisters sewing kit. Electric current can be direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). Direct current such as the power from dry cells is characterized by a uniform direction of flow and amount (voltage) of electricity.
D.C. stands for direct current. A.C. is alternating current.

VAC is voltage of alternating current signalDC current is amperage of a direct current signalAnswerYour question contradicts itself, as the symbol, V,represents voltage, not current.However, V a.c., represents an alternating voltage -one in which the direction in which the voltage is acting continuously reverses itself. Vd.c. represents a direct voltage, in which the voltage continuously acts in the same direction.
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
In North America the electrical system is alternating current at a frequency of 60 Hertz. Europe and the UK use alternating current at a frequency of 50 Hertz. Direct current systems are obsolete because of the inability to transmit the voltage over long distances.
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Alternating Current and Direct Current. Electricity is voltage and current. Voltage is electrical pressure, and current is the flow of charged particles. The difference between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) is that the electrons in an AC circuit regularly reverse their direction. In a DC circuit electrons always flow in the same direction.
