Battery ac or DC?

Batteries can provide both AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) power, depending on the type of device they are connected to. However, most batteries themselves supply DC power. Devices that require AC power typically use an inverter to convert the battery's DC power into AC power.


How does direct current differ from alternating current?

In your home, the power outlets provide "Alternating Current", and in your car, the battery provides "Direct Current". The difference between "Alternating Current" and "Direct Current" is the changing relationship in reference to time. The battery in your car is a "Direct Current Power Source", with electrons that travel from the negative terminal of the battery, through some device such as a Radio, Lamp, etc., and follows the return path back to the positive side of the battery terminal. This is "Electron Flow Theory", commonly used to explain how electrical currents flow. In the United States, the electrical wall outlets in your home, will provide power for your Toaster, Coffee Maker, Stereo, Big Screen TV, etc., using current that changes directions, back and forth, 60-times per second, and is referred to as "Alternating Current".

Does lithium cadmium provide a direct or an alternating current?

All batteries provide DC. It does not matter their makeup.


Which type of current is used in batteries and which is used in household outlets?

Batteries provide Direct Current (DC) while household outlets provide Alternating Current (AC).


What type of a current does cadmium battery provide?

Direct current.


What electricity will let battery and light bulb flow?

Direct current (DC) electricity is the type of electricity that will flow from a battery to power a light bulb since batteries provide DC power. Alternating current (AC) electricity, found in most wall outlets, typically can't directly power a light bulb from a battery without a converter or inverter.


How alternating current is transformed into direct current?

alternating current have cyccles (+ve and -ve half cycle, its mean direction reverse) in a single wire only hot wite or positive wire and the other wire that is cold or negative wire is directly from nutral point or earth point which is only to complete the circuit.


What did Nikola Tesla do for us?

Tesla invented the alternating current. He tried to provide free electricity.


What current is a car battery?

It is 12 volts. The amount of current it can provide at 0 degrees F for 30 seconds is listed on the battery as Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). It varies from battery to battery.
