By switching circuits or transistors that turn on and off the polarity. This usually results in a square wave output. Then capacitors charge and discharge to smooth out the square wave to resemble the AC sine wave. The better or more expensive the inverter, the closer to an actual sine wave it gets.

What is the diagram of ac current?
Sine wave
What is the Symbol used for AC voltage?
a sine wave (~)
Why it is named sinusoidal wave or sine wave in ac?
It's called a sine wave because the waveform can be reproduced as a graph of the sine or cosine functions sin(x) or cos (x).
Is there a device that converts modified sine wave AC output from a generator to pure sine wave AC?
Well, a pure sine wave can only be produced as a pure sine wave. If it was modified to begin with, it would never be a pure sine wave. However, an actual generator should be supplying pure sine wave output, while something such as an inverter would be producing a modified sine wave.
A diode converts AC to pulsed?
If you put a diode in series with an AC sine wave that goes plus and minus, it will cut off either the positive or negative portion of the waveform, depending on the direction of the diode in circuit. So in effect you have a pulse equal to one half cycle of the sine wave.
Why you are considering sine wave as ac but not cosine wave?
Sine wave is considered as the AC signal because it starts at 0 amplitude and it captures the alternating nature of the signal. Cosine wave is just a phase shift of the sine wave and represents the same signal. So, either sine or cosine wave can be used to represent AC signals. However, sine wave is more conventionally used.

Is IC555 is an ac device or dc device?
it is DC powered, but can generate sawtooth or triangular wave AC if wired up properly. it cannot generate sine wave AC, although with an opamp wave shaping circuit the triangular AC waveform can be reshaped to a rough approximation of a sine wave.
Is sine wave analog wave?
A: ANALOGUE IT can be AC or DC it is up to the application involved An analog signal can be a sine wave, a square wave a sawtooth wave or any other varying waveform
How do you change AC into DC and DC into AC?
In most circumstances a full wave diode bridge is used to convert AC into DC. Along with inductors and capacitors used as filters, the DC ripple is smoothed out to a very stable DC voltage. This is the method used in DC power supplies. To convert from DC to AC an inverter is used. Today most inverters use the modified sine wave method which brings the sine wave closer to a AC generated sine wave. Older inverters used an on - off switching procedure to generate a square sine wave. Modern electronics do not work well with square wave generation.
Is the output of half wave rectifier exactly a sinne wave explain?
If a sine wave is applied to a rectifier, and the sine wave is strictly AC (no DC offset), the output will be 1/2 the wave - it will be clipped near zero, as the diode prevents reverse voltages. So the output will NOT be a perfect sine wave.
Why do you sample sine wave and not other waves?
Because the laws of basic AC circuit theory only apply to a true sine wave. Other waveforms, such as square or sawtooth, are imperfect recreations of a sine wave with many harmonic frequencies present.
What are the main differences between AC and DC currents?
An AC waveform is a sine wave and varies from positive to negative with a frequency of 60 Hertz (Cycles per Second). DC is a constant voltage and does not vary like the sine wave.
Is there a device that converts modified sine wave AC output from a generator to pure sine wave AC?
Well, a pure sine wave can only be produced as a pure sine wave. If it was modified to begin with, it would never be a pure sine wave. However, an actual generator should be supplying pure sine wave output, while something such as an inverter would be producing a modified sine wave.
How an inverter invert DC to ac?
There is more than one technique. The most common is to use an electronic switch to convert the DC into a square wave, the square wave is filtered to make it a (rough) sine wave. This can then passed through a transformer to the desired voltage. The advantage of this system is that it is very efficient, the disadvantage is that the sine wave produced isn't all that good a sine wave and some devices (AC motors, for example) sometimes have problems when being powered by inverters. An alternative is to use an oscillator to produce the sine wave. This produces a better sine wave, but is less efficient.
