What is ac rig?
and does anyone know what ac stands for?
At 110v what body resistance would allow the lethal level of shock current to flow?
well, it depends on the individual. IIRC, 240volt Residual Current Device (AKA ELCB) designed to protect life operate at 60mA which requires a 'simple' body resistance of 4000 ohms. However, this doesn't take account of AC resistance (includes capacitive and reactive impedance) which is dependant on frequency! So, at 110v DC (you don't mention AC or DC voltage) a body resistance of below 2000 would result in a potentially lethal current ... I wouldn't want to test it however - I've had two 240v AC shocks and, to be honest, that's enough. I've 'felt' 110v AC 60Hz and also 110v AC 400Hz - the 400Hz definatly cought my attention .....
AC or DC supply is given to a bulb which gives more illumination?
In AC supply, the RMS current is the effective current for power used in a resistive circuit. This is defined as the square root of the mean value of the square of the current, taken over a whole cycle. The RMS current dissipates power at the same rate as a DC current of the same value. A light bulb of course gives out light dependent on the current through the filament. So if the RMS current and the DC current are the same value, the light produced will be equal. With AC supply, the RMS value of current and volts is 1/(square root of 2) x the peak value, so peak value = 1.414 x RMS value. If you supplied DC at volts and current equal to the peak AC value, the power given to the light bulb would clearly be greater. Therefore to answer your question you have to specify what relative values your AC and DC supplies have.
What is feets for 1 ac ar?
There is no such unit as the ac ar.
When was AC Lens created?
AC Lens was created in 1995.
Which gives powerful shock AC or DC current?
either one
When an ac bulb glows the phase wire gives a shock when touched by hand but the neutral wire doesn't?

Is there a difference between a DC shock and a AC shock?
Yeh buddy! A dc shock is a good shot. An ac shock causes muscles to alternate. Depending on the voltages from either it can be an enlightning experience.
How can you differentiate DC and ac?
DC is direct current. It is characterized as a voltage or current that is constant or, more precisely, always in one direction. A battery is an example of a DC source. AC is alternating current. It is characterized as a voltage or current that is alternating, i.e. changing direction at some frequency such as 50Hz or 60Hz. The power supplied to your home from the public power utility is an example of an AC source. ac is attractive in nature while dc is repulsive .
How does shock therapy apply to electrostatics?
There is no connection at all. Shock therapy machines apply AC across the skull to shock the brain into a seizure.
Which ac motor gives high output rpm?
ac universel single phase motor
Which is more dangerous ac or DC shock?
DC is more dangerous because its magnitude doen't goes zero instantly after every half cycle as in case of AC .
Why ac current is more dangerous than dc?
no actually dc current is more dangerous than ac because dc is a direct current and has no current zero condition ,which is very dangerous and do not leave us if we get shock while ac current leave us when we get shock
A ( B plus C )?
Multiplying this out gives: AB + AC
How much gold does central ac units have?
Not much. But they have copper pipes and condensers. Very attractive to the thieves at today's prices.
Why does AC voltage gives a electric shock and DC sources like car battery do not?
The thing that determines whether you get an electric shock is the voltage. whether the source is AC or DC is not determinant. Car batteries are usually 12v, which is not sufficient to drive a current through your skin. The voltage of Mains electricity at 110 or 220 volts on the other hand is easily high enough to give you a jolt. The fact that AC voltages are conventionally stated as RMS (a kind of average) means that the actual peak voltage will be higher still. Telephone lines carry around 90v DC when a call is incoming, which can also give you a shock. I have heard that DC is more dangerous than AC because DC tends to cause your muscles to contract, so that you grip the source, whereas AC tends to throw you off. I'm happy to say that I don't have first hand experience to confirm this!
Do you get electric shock if you catch one of the wire in ac circuit if you shand on perfect insulator?
Technically, no. But please don't try it.
