What is called as Alternating current to Direct current converter?
A diode or rectifier converts AC to DC.
Advantages and disadvantages of polyphase circuit?
fewer ripples in a direct current when alternating is converted to direct current
What is AC power plug?
an AC power plug is one that utilizes AC (or alternating current) to power a device. Alternating current is different to direct current (or DC) in the way that instead of providing a direct source of power, it alternates between negative and positive. Most devices rely on Alternating current due to circuitry reasons
How can a 12 volt battery inverter give power to a house?
An inverter converts direct current into alternating current. An inexpensive 12 volt inverter is often used to convert 12 volt direct current from a battery to 120 volt alternating current to power small household appliances during a power failure. More expensive inverter systems with large batteries are also available for use with solar panels, wind generators, or other non-commercial power sources.
A power supply receives what type of power?
It depends on the type of power supply. A power supply used in a desktop computer is generally supplied with AC (Alternating Current) and produces several levels of regulated DC (Direct Current) voltages required by the electronic circuits.
In electronics the term rectification refers to the process of changing an alternating current AC to what?
A Direct Current
What is the current called?
flow of charge
Current in which electrons flow in the same direction is called?
It's alternating current
Are Transformers used in circuits with Direct Current?
No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
What device has the ability to change direct current to alternating current?
It's called an inverter.
Lightning carries Alternating current or Direct Current?
Power lines carry electricity as 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.
Did Thomas Edison want direct current or alternating current?
Direct Current. His opponent, Nikolas Testa, wanted Alternating Current.
What is called as Alternating current to Direct current converter?
A diode or rectifier converts AC to DC.
What is D-C electricity?
DC electricity is direct current, compared to AC which is alternating current where the current is consistantly changing direction, direct current does not change direction. The main source of DC is a battery.
