What does ac stand for the mains voltage supplied in the UK?
AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
What current flows in one direction then the opposite direction?
AC, Alternating Current.
Why does a ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current in the circuit?
Because V = I x R or Voltage = Current x Resistance. Since resistance is linear there is a linear relationship between Current and voltage. If you have DC voltage you have DC current and if you have AC Voltage you have AC current. Note that there is a linguistic recognition of this relationship in that the voltage is described in terms of the current.
What is sinusoid?
What is a sinusoidal wave? This is a wave that appears to have curves. AC current/voltage. If you see a wave on a ossiloscope of what our AC (Alternating current) mains voltage that will be the answer to the question. DC (direct current) does not appear to have the same qualitys
What is the difference of VAC to Voltage?
Voltage is a general term. VAC & VDC are specific terms.
Ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current?
The reason an AC voltage applied across a load resistance produces alternating current is because when you have AC voltage you have to have AC current. If DC voltage is applied, DC current is produced.
What are the kinds of voltage?
Alternating current - AC, and direct current - DC.
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 is the ac alternating current supply voltage in MALAYSIA?
240v
Is induction voltage ac or dc current?
Induction occurs only with alternating current.
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.
What is ac welding?
AC welders use electric voltage directly from an alternating current outlet.
What does ac stand for the mains voltage supplied in the UK?
AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
The change from negative to positive and from positive to negative in an alternating current?
Is called AC voltage or current.
What is current that keeps changing direction?
AC, or alternating current.AC, or alternating current.AC, or alternating current.AC, or alternating current.
What is rms value in ac system?
The r.m.s. value of an alternating current or voltage is the value of direct current or voltage which produces the same heating effect.
What does AC and DC stand for in the electrical field?
Alternating Current and Direct Current. Electricity is voltage and current. Voltage is electrical pressure, and current is the flow of charged particles. The difference between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) is that the electrons in an AC circuit regularly reverse their direction. In a DC circuit electrons always flow in the same direction.
