Like most other countries, you will find that in England we use voltages ranging from almost zero to a few tens of kV, depending on the application. ;)

However, assuming you mean the voltage supplied by 3-pin 13A mains sockets (type G) then from 1 January 2004 the mains supply should be 230V (-6%, +10%), 50 Hz (±1%). ie a range of 216.2 - 253V. This replaced the UK's former specification which was 240V ±6% (ie a range of 225.6 - 254.4V). Some "shaver sockets", similar to round 2-pin sockets (type C) found in mainland Europe, will supply 110 V, but be careful since they often have a dual mode 110V/240V.

What type of current is used to power electrical outlets in the US?

AC, alternating current is used to power electrical outlets in the U.S..


Does a computer use AC or dc power?

Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.


How do you turn a car generator inside out to get ac power?

All alternators make AC power when they run. There are diodes in the alternator that convert it to DC. There is no practical way to alter this. There are some large alternators that have both types of outputs on them but they are for large trucks. With the advent of converters that you plug into aux power outlets in cars, there is no reason to use the alternator to generate AC unless you are looking at a very high current requirement.


Are there any electric outlets in an SUV to run a 110V equipment in it?

Some SUVs may have electical outlets. Almost any vehicle can have a DC/AC power inverter installed to run AC powered devices. Make sure the output is enough for what you want to run, and follow the manufacturers instructions when installing.


Does the AC outlets have a positive and negative terminals?

No, AC outlets do not have positive and negative terminals like DC outlets. AC outlets have hot and neutral terminals, with the hot being the live current-carrying wire and the neutral being the return path for the current.


Do they have electricity in Cuba?

Yes, they have electricity in Cuba. The Cuban power outlets are suited for use with the North American flat blade type electrical plugs (caps). In general the voltage in Havana is 110V AC 60Hz, but some of the newer hotels have 220 V AC 60 Hz as well.


What are some things related to electricity?

How can a radio use both DC and AC?

Radios use DC power supplies to operate. If a radio is powered from a mains AC supply, a power supply circuit will convert the AC supply to DC. Therefore, a radio may have both a DC and an AC power input but ultimately, the internal circuitry will always use DC.


Outlets in boeing 737?

In a Boeing 737, electrical outlets are typically found in the passenger cabin, often located in the seatbacks or armrests of certain models. However, the availability of power outlets can vary by airline and specific aircraft configuration. Some airlines provide USB charging ports instead of traditional AC outlets. It's best to check with the airline for the specific amenities on your flight.


Where do you find Alternating current?

Alternating current (AC) is primarily found in residential and commercial power systems, where it is used to power electrical appliances and equipment. It is generated by power plants and transmitted over long distances through power lines. Additionally, AC is commonly used in household outlets and is the standard form of electricity in most countries around the world.
