Thomas Edison used direct current in his electric power transmission in the 1800's.
This isn't very relevant, but it is "Quite Interesting"
From QI--Elephant in the Room: In 1903, Thomas Edison made a film called Electrocuting an Elephant, in which he used an alternating current to kill an elephant called Topsy. He used the film as a Propaganda film to destroy the reputation of alternating current, owned by Westinghouse, believing his direct current was safer. He tried to encourage people to call being electrocuted, "Westinghoused".
What else can I help you with?
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
What is the simplest source of direct current?
Simple source of direct current are Batteries.
What is a constant current?
DC or Direct Current. The current is no alternating.
High frequency is direct or indirect current?
-- There's no such thing as 'indirect' current.-- Direct current has no frequency. As soon as you mention 'frequency',you're talking about alternating current.
How do you measure direct current?
we can use ammeter for current checking
Who discover the direct current?
No one discovered it, it was invented.
Who discover the Direct-current motor?
No one discovered it, it was invented.
Who invented dc generator?
DC, or Direct Current, was not invented in the traditional sense as it is a very simple and common way to transfer power through a conductor. Far too common to pinpoint the first person who discovered it. Thomas Edison developed direct current, but it was only with Nikola Tesla's help that Edison ever developed any useful generators for direct current. It's odd that we credit Edison with inventing the light bulb AND direct current when Nikola Tesla is to direct current what Edison is to the light bulb.
Will a battery supply direct current or alternating current or ac?
direct current.
What is the direct object in the sentence 'Who discovered electricity'?
The word "electricity" is the direct object in the sentence "Who discovered electricity?" The direct object receives the action of the verb, which in this case entails what was being discovered.
How many types of direct current and what is the frequency of direct current?
There is only one type of direct current and its 'frequency' is zero.
Which would make more shock the alternating current or direct current?
direct current
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Current that doesnt reverse direction is called?
direct current
What are some important contributions Thomas Edison made to society?
He discovered the power of electricity, invented the light bulb, developed theories about DC (direct current), and proved the dangers of AC (alternate current).
Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
What is DC in electric stand for?
Volts direct current eg battery As opossd to Vac wich is volts altinating current eg mains supply
