What is unidirectional current controller device?
A unidirectional current controller device is a type of electrical on/off switch. In order for an item to work that is plugged into a particular outlet, the switch must be in the on position. It is like having lamps plugged into outlets that are controlled by only one switch.
What type of current is used to supply power to HVAC equipment?
Alternating current
What is an electrical power inverter?
The most usual type of electrical power inverter is an electronic device which converts a direct current supply - often at a low voltage such as 12 or 24 volts as is used in a vehicle - to a higher voltage alternating current such as 120 or 240 volts which can be used to supply power to a household electrical appliance. Inverters do what the name implies: they invert one type of power source to another type such as from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). In addition inverters can be used to convert a power source to a different level [VOLTAGE]. No matter what type is involved, because no inverter'e efficiency can ever be near to 100%, there will always be some loss of energy from the power that is supplied to the input to the power that is available at the output, but that is a small price to pay for the convenience of using an inverter.
What type of diode is used to convert alternating current into direct current?
The type of diode used to convert alternating current in to direct current is the power diode.
What type of magnet has an iron core and electric current?
an electromagnet
What type of current is used in batteries and which is used in household outlets?
In batteries Direct current is used (DC). This is because Batteries do not last very long and therefore are made to have certain voltage that can be used in most electronics. Batteries can be very hazardous if there is a short circuit that occurs. In households the outlets are a form of Alternating current (AC). This is because AC is easier to use and has no big hazards (unless you stick a fork in the socket). If some of the outlets give out (die or burn out) the rest of the remaining sockets in that same area will still work.
What type of current will batteries provide?
Batteries are DC current.

How can you find more information about ATV batteries?
It would be considered wise to check out any type of dealership that sells or rents ATV's to get more information on ATV batteries. You could also check at all of your major outlets such as Price Club or Costco as well.
What type of batteries do most wireless computer monitors require?
Wireless computer monitors are powered through standard wall outlets. Only the video input signal is transmitted wirelessly.
Do batteries contain acid or alkali?
Either one, depending upon the type of battery. You can get Alkali Batteries for your toys and flashlights. Car batteries contain acids. It requires one or the other to create the ionic differences that produce the current flow.
