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

What is meant by alternative current?
Alternating current is more efficinent. It is wireless and more efficient than direct current. And it is safer. Plus Tesla is better than Edison
Is ac current dangerous or DC current?
Both will kill you easily ;) But medium/high voltage, high current DC is generally considered 'more dangerous' as it tends to make people clamp onto the cable rather than being thrown away from it, so fault current is suffered for longer as a result. Hope this helps. Paul. ANSWER : NOT TRUE VOLTAGE DOES NOT KILL current however will even a 'D' cell can kill you [able to deliver 2 amps] Now which is more dangerous DC for sure it is continuous AC WILL PASS TROUGH ZERO AT TIMES ENOUGH MAYBE TO DISCONNECT
Why AC is more dangerous than DC?
ANSWER:- Kouwenhoven's factors: AC changes direction frequently; it is the current usually supplied by household electrical outlets in the US and Europe. DC flows in the same direction constantly; it is the current supplied by batteries. Defibrillators and cardioverters usually deliver DC current. How AC affects the body depends largely on frequency. Low-frequency (50- to 60-Hz) AC is used in US (60 Hz) and European (50 Hz) households; it can be more dangerous than high-frequency AC and is 3 to 5 times more dangerous than DC of the same voltage and amperage. Low-frequency AC produces extended muscle contraction (tetany), which may freeze the hand to the current's source, prolonging exposure. DC is most likely to cause a single convulsive contraction, which often forces the victim away from the current's source. As per IEEE std. 80 as well..... let go current is 16mA for AC and 75mA for DC.... So there is nothing like AC will throw you off and DC will hold you off.... Question itself wrong....
How can you block ac current?
You can block AC current by using a filter with a pass-band that is outside the frequency of the AC current.
What device converts dc current to ac current?
A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.
Which is more dangerous AC current or DC current when the voltages are equal?
either one, neither one
AC or DC more dangerous?
yes it is 230 v is deadly, it doesn't matter if it's ac or dc. Some people say one is more dangerous than the other. That implies that there is some voltage, lower than 230 v, at which one will kill you but the other will not. There is no conclusive evidence for that, so it can't be said that ac is more dangerous than dc or vice versa.
Which is more dangerous AC or DC?
I am not 100% sure but I think DC is more dangerous than AC.Both are dangerous. It is difficult to put numbers on it, as there are too many variables which determine the amount of current which flows through you when you get a shock. There is only one safe course when dealing with electricity, and that is to assume it is always dangerous and always avoid touching anything live.
Why electronics device used dc current only?
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
What is meant by alternative current?
Alternating current is more efficinent. It is wireless and more efficient than direct current. And it is safer. Plus Tesla is better than Edison
Is 1 volt more then 1 DC volt?
No, it is the same. DC stands for direct current rather than AC, which is alternating current.
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 .
Which is more dangerous AC or DC supply?
A: DEFINITELY DC since current is steady at whatever voltage while AC must have a less voltage as is supplied. Also at hi frequency the AC will the tendency to flow on the skin as opposed to flow internally
Who is dangerous ac or DC supply?
ac because thats the accelerated current. and it has way higher voltage. dc direct current hs low voltage and wont hurt as bad
Who invent AC?
Willis Haviland Carrier is wrong he invented the air conditioner AC is an electrical current invented by Nikola Tesla. Thomas Edison who invented DC, used AC to make an electrical pad, killed cats and dogs to ruin Tesla because he wanted to prove it was dangerous, but DC is more dangerous.
Which is drangerous 250 vdc or 250 vac?
Both are equally as dangerous, as 250-volts is more than enough to exceed the .1 amp (100 milli-amps) needed to cause your heart to stop beating correctly. DC electrical current cause more sever burning than AC current does, but when the voltage is as high as 250 V, it will not matter much which type of current it is... both have the potential to kill you.
Advantages of Ac to DC converter?
some things requre a dc (direct current) rather than an ac (alternating current)
