neither, it depends on what you are doing with it.
- For lighting both are same.
- For long distance power transmission where I^2*R loss is dominate AC is better.
- For long distance power transmission where radiative loss is dominate DC is better.
- Where corrosion can be a problem AC is usually better.
- For driving reversible (non-polyphase AC) electric motors DC is better.
- 99.9% or more of electronics can only operate on DC.
- Electroplating of metals only works with DC.
But one can always be converted to the other, at some loss.
What else can I help you with?
Why is AC better than DC?
AC power can be transmitted more efficiently than DC.
Who is better ac or DC transmission?
ac transmission is better. because it is cheaper as converter are not use.but losses are more as comparison to dc.
Would AC or DC be better to use in a classroom when using a microscope?
Ac would be better
Who is better ACDC or Metallica?
Definitely AC/DC
Who is better pendulum or ACDC?
simple answer AC/DC
Which current is better ac or dc?
DC is more powerful, the actual ratio is 1.732AC=DC
Would ac or dc be better in lighting circuits in parallel?
Depends on the application. Lights in your house are in parallel with AC and lights in your car are in parallel with DC.
Where can one purchase an AC DC converter?
It is possible to buy an AC DC converter from a wide range of stores and websites. For example. Ebay and Radioshack are one of the many sellers of an AC DC converter.An AC DC converter is available for purchase from any store or website that provides it.
Are ac drives better than dc drives?
Yes, ac drives are better than dc drives. You can find more info at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive or www.avtron.com/ac_vs_dc.htm
Do you think AC DC or Pink sings Highway to Hell better?
I'm gonna say Pink sings it better because i can't get tired of listening to it. The AC DC version is kinda boring even though i love AC DC Highway To Hell is a timeless classic though
Is ac better than dc for resistive heating?
no, heating is identical
Which is better a AC or DC motor for an EV?
I'd like to know the arguments in favor of AC & DC motors to be used in EV's Art Sestak asestak@roadrunner.com
