Alternating current (AC) was initially discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831 by magnetic experimentation. The first AC instrument was constructed in 1832, but the first practical application of AC wasn't until 1855.

How is alernating current that comes out of a wall socket produced?

Alternating current is produced by generators in power plants. These generators use mechanical energy to rotate coils of wire within a magnetic field, which induces an alternating current. The electricity is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses.


When was the current had invented?

What doaes ac DC stand for?

The two forms of Electricity are AC and DC. AC Stands for Alernating Current and DC stands for Direct Current. AC electricity comes out of the Powerpoint that your computer is probably using and DC electricity is used in 5.1 voltage batteries that probably power your flashlight or toy.


Who discovered the current electricity?

Rory Jacob Alexander Gregson (the first, the last, and the only!) discovered current in 2010.


What do you compare with a alternating current and a direct current?

The Alernating Current can be compared to a Direct Current using the AC's Root Mean Square value. That is about .707 times the Peak value, or the sin of 45 times the peak value or, 1 over the square root of two times the peak value. All three are the same essentially. This RMS value is like the average current or voltage that the load see's throughout one cycle.


Who discovered electric current?

What type of current does a generator produce for mains electricity?

In the United States ll0-l20 Volts AC- 60 hertz or cycles per second ( rate of alternation). ll0 volts was standardized- originally DC as far back as l895 by Con Ed Power and Light! Tesla and Westinghouse powered-in the changeover to Alernating current, now standard.
