with the increase in the frequency the resolution in out put delivered power or work increases. once the country is delivering a particular frequency, then it's almost impossible in terms of expenses to change to a new frequency as all the equipments are confined to the frequency at which the country was previously defined. example, with 60 Hz frequency the out put torque of a motor increases which improves its ability to pull bigger loads at inclined geography.

In the US AC line voltage oscillates at a frequency of what?

60HZ


What is the voltage and frequency used in US and why?

the voltage and frequency are 110v and 50(or)60hz because the devices which are invented in us are work at that voltage and it is efficient for that devices.


Can you run a us appliance in the UK?

No. Not unless you use a transformer to change the voltage. In the US mains voltage is 110-120 V and the current 60Hz Alternating Current. In the UK and almost all of Europe mains voltage is 230-240 V and the current 50Hz Alternating Current. So, if you attempt to use a US appliance in the UK the voltage, which is at least twice the amount of that in the US will create double the current in the device. This will either immediately blow an internal fuse, or burn the appliance out. In extreme cases it could even cause a fire.


What voltage does the power supply uses in US?

Input would be 120v at 60hz. Standard US wall power.


What does AC mean about current flow?

AC means Alternating Current. Alternating Current changes direction constantly, usually at 60Hz (US, Canada, and others) or 50Hz (UK and others).


How can you determine the resistance of a current?

Voltage = Current x Resistance giving us Current = Voltage / Resistance i.e. Voltage divided by resistance


What is the Voltage and Current Specification difference of India and US?

110volt


What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?

Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.


Can you run a UK pool heater in the US with a voltage converter?

yes"yes" is a rather brief answer. I would think a pool heater is a pretty high power device, that would require a sizable voltage converter. I would consider trying it using 240 volt US current. Unless it has some delicate electronic functions, like precision timers, the 50-60hz difference shouldn't make any difference.


Who formulated a law for determining the direction of the induced current in a conductor?

There is no such thing as an 'induced current'. What is 'induced' is a voltage. If the conductor into which that voltage is induced forms a complete circuit, then a current will result. But it's the voltage that's induced, NOT the current! The direction of the induced voltage is explained by Lenz's Law which, in simple terms, tells us that the direction of the inducted voltage is always such that it will oppose the change in current that causes it. So the induced voltage will oppose any increase in current, but will act in the same direction as a reduction in current.


Do I have 120v electrical in my home?

Yes. In the United States, standard household voltage is 120VAC @ 60Hz. If properly installed, you can also run standard devices at 220 or 240 volts AC in the US.


What is the frequency of the alternating voltage and current typically used in the US?

60 Hertz
