In the case of an incandescent lamp, the variation in current due to its frequency maintains its temperature, so its light output is continuous. For lamps such as fluorescent tubes, the resulting flicker is not noticeable due to a human's persistence of vision -i.e. the same characteristic that allows us to watch film (a series of still images above around 16 frames per second).

Ac vs DC current?

DC (direct current) means the current flows only in one direction. In AC (alternating current), the current changes direction continuously (for example, 50 or 60 cycles per second).


How can you differentiate DC and ac?

DC is direct current. It is characterized as a voltage or current that is constant or, more precisely, always in one direction. A battery is an example of a DC source. AC is alternating current. It is characterized as a voltage or current that is alternating, i.e. changing direction at some frequency such as 50Hz or 60Hz. The power supplied to your home from the public power utility is an example of an AC source. ac is attractive in nature while dc is repulsive .


What are the key differences between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC)?

Alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) differ in the direction of flow of electric charge. AC changes direction periodically, while DC flows in one direction continuously. AC is used for long-distance power transmission, while DC is used for electronic devices and batteries.


What voltage is used in Ireland?

What is a type of electricity that continuously changes direction?

Alternating current (AC) is a type of electricity that continuously changes direction, typically used in homes and businesses for powering appliances and devices. This differs from direct current (DC), which flows in one direction only.
