Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
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).
What current flows in one direction then the opposite direction?
AC, Alternating Current.
Lightning carries Alternating current or Direct Current?
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
Current in which electrons flow in the same direction is called?
It's alternating current
Changing alternating current to direct current is called?
Rectification
What is rectification and which power supply provides a smoother form of rectification with less fluctuation?
Rectification is the process of converting alternating current into direct current. The smoothest power supply is a 'switched mode' supply.
Why does a transformer require alternating current?
In order to induce voltage as an output, a changing magnetic field is needed. To create a changing magnetic field in the transformer a changing current and that is an alternating current.
What is current that keeps changing direction?
Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current that changes direction periodically. It is commonly used in household electricity systems because it allows for easy voltage transformation and long-distance transmission.
What is the best electric current?
This depends upon the application. For most home appliances and industrial machinery, alternating current is the best electric current. In most computer electronics, alternating current must be converted into direct current.
What is the relation of ac and DC?
DC is direct current, a steady current supplied from a steady voltage. AC is alternating current changing like a sine-wave positive and negative, with the advantage that it can be changed by transformers. DC can be derived from AC by rectification and smoothing circuits, which are built into equipments which draw their power (AC) from public electricity suppliers.
What type of diode is used to convert alternating current into direct current?
The type of diode used to convert alternating current in to direct current is the power diode.
Alternating current can be changed to direct current by?
using a rectifier, which converts the AC signal into a pulsating DC signal, and then using a filter to smooth out the pulsations in the signal, resulting in a steady DC output.
What has the author H Rissik written?
H. Rissik has written: 'Quality control in production' -- subject(s): Industrial statistics, Quality control 'The rectification of alternating current'
How does alternating current create an electromagnetic field?
Alternating current creates an electromagnetic field through the flow of electric charge that changes direction periodically. This changing current induces a changing magnetic field, which in turn generates an electromagnetic field around the conductor.
Why are currents changing direction?
Alternating current is generated by a rotating generator which moves in such a way as to produce that kind of current.
Are Transformers used in circuits with Direct Current?
No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.
