Did Thomas Edison want direct current or alternating current?
Direct Current. His opponent, Nikolas Testa, wanted Alternating Current.
Alternating current can be changed to direct current by?
by rectification
What did alternating electrical current effect in the 1920?
The introduction of alternating electrical current, in 1920, eliminated the need for a return wire. Alternating current, AC, replaced direct current, DC.
Which apparatus changes a direct current to alternating current?
An inverter or a motor-generator set.
What 2 types of currents do you commonly refer to with electricity and what do they stand for?
the two types of electrical current are AC which stands for Alternating current and DC which stands for direct current. Battery current is direct current. The electrons in alternating current flow one way and then flow in the opposite direction.
Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Lightning carries Alternating current or Direct Current?
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
Did Thomas Edison want direct current or alternating current?
Direct Current. His opponent, Nikolas Testa, wanted Alternating Current.
In electric terms what do the abbreviations AC and DC mean?
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.
What converts direct current to alternating current?
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
Will a battery supply direct current or alternating current or ac?
direct current.
What is the fusing current?
alternating current and direct current
Was direct current or alternating current first?
direct came first
How does alternating current and direct current affect heating ventilation and airconditioning?
how dose alternating current and direct current affect heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
Which would make more shock the alternating current or direct current?
direct current
What is a constant current?
DC or Direct Current. The current is no alternating.
