What are AC and DC?
AC and DC are alternating current and direct current, respectively. The two terms generally speak to a voltage source and the way it causes current to flow in a circuit.AC means the applied voltage changes polarity, and, therefore, the current flow in a circuit will change directions in response. The best example is probably the AC power grid, and the grid distributes electric power across a wide area. In the AC power grid, the voltage varies in the form of a sine wave. It varies from zero to a positive peak, back to zero, to a negative peak and back to zero. It actually changes polarity, and this cycle repeats continuously at some rate. The voltage out of the wall socket in a house in the US is AC at 60 Hertz (60 Hz), which is 60 cycles per second.DC means the voltage source has a fixed polarity. Current in a DC circuit will flow in only one direction. The most common example is a battery, and the terminals of this voltage source are positive and negative. The voltage applied to a circuit will result in unidirectional current flow.When we compare DC and AC circuits, we generally consider that in the former, the applied voltage has a fixed polarity and unidirectional current flow. In the latter case, the polarity of the applied voltage changes, and the direction of current flow in an attached circuit will also change.
What are the two kinds electricity?
Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

How can you convert a DC generator into an ac generator?
Converting D/C into A/C is very expensive. You can use inverters to switch the direction of the current but you would probably be better off to replace your DC generator with an AC generator and if you need both AC and DC power then use a rectifier (inexpensive when compared to inverters) to convert the AC to a DC current.
Electric current changes direction repeatedly is called?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
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 type of current is generated by the local electrical system?
The electrical grid distributes alternating current(AC).
Why do transmission lines use alternating current instead of direct current?
Transmission lines use alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC) because AC can travel long distances with less energy loss. AC can be easily converted to higher or lower voltages using transformers, which is important for efficient power distribution. Additionally, AC allows for easier control and regulation of power flow in the grid.
Is Singapore's power grid AC or DC?
Singapore's power grid mainly operates on AC (alternating current) like most countries around the world. AC is preferred for long-distance power transmission as it can easily be converted to different voltage levels for distribution.
Is the Canadian electrical grid AC or DC?
The Canadian electrical grid is AC.
Is the power line voltage available in your homes a DC or an AC voltage?
We deliver power on the power grid as an AC voltage. That's alternating current, and that's what is available in your home.
What voltage is the Thailand national grid on?
220v ac UK and Europeans will need an adapter, but otherwise ok. US will need a converter.
Would AC or DC be better to use when using a torch while camping?
It would be better to use direct current (DC) than alternating current (AC) for a torch while camping. If you're out in the field, you can carry batteries for power. They're DC. You won't find any place to plug into the AC power grid if you are surrounded by forest, dunes, moors or the like.
What form of electricity comes out of a Wave Generator?
It depends on how the generator is set up. Some will produce DC (Direct Current) and others will produce AC (Alternating Current). Where possible AC electricity will be produced as it runs through the grid without much loss of power.
Can you use AC in motor?
AC current is used in motors.
What instruments do AC to dc current use?
I would assume that you mean what devices do you use to convert ac current to dc current?The answer is Diodes.seediode-bridge
Which type of inverter is used for 12V40ahbattery?
A 12V AC inverter should be used to convert electricity from a 12V battery to 120V AC current. A grid tie inverter can also be used if you want to feed the AC directly into an existing grid, such as your own home. AC inverters cost between $10 and $30 on eBay, while Grid-Tie Inverters cost between $70 and $200 for a cheap model.
Does 110 use direct current?
No. 110 volt is AC current
