ac stands for alternating current so ac current means alterneting current current. its like entering your pin number on an ATM machine.

Why is it incorret to say ac current?

The correct term is Alternating Current which AC stands for. So once you say AC you are saying Alternating Current. To say AC Current is to say Alternating Current Current.


Does a fan run on a dc current or ac current?

AC


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?

What current flows in one direction then the opposite direction?

AC, Alternating Current.


What are the two kinds electricity?

Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

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.


If an inductor and a switch are connected in parallel through which the current will flow in an AC circuit?

A:The inductor does not allow ac signal to pass through. It blocks ac and passes dc. If the switch is open, then the ac signal wont pass. If the switch is closed, then the ac signal will pass through the switch.AnswerIt is incorrect to say that an inductor 'does not allow' the passage of an alternating current. An a.c. current will pass through an inductor, although the inductor will limit the value of that current due to the inductor's inductive reactance. Inductive reactance, which is expressed in ohms, is directly-proportional to the inductance of the inductor and to the frequency of the supply. The value of the current is determined by dividing the supply voltage by the inductive reactance of the inductor.If the switch is connected in parallel with the inductor, then closing the switch will apply a direct short circuit across the inductor, and the resulting short-circuit current will cause the circuit's protective device (fuse or circuit breaker) to operate.


How did the AC current help mankind?

without the AC current, we wouldn't have air conditioning.
