The v in vdc stands for volts. The dc stands for direct current. This is a voltage that you find in batteries and is not to be confused with AC which is alternating current which is the electricity in the utility grid that feeds your home electricity.

What is the term used to identify an av voltage that would cause the same heating in a resitor as a corresponding value of dc voltage'?

the RMS value of ac voltage is equivalent in power to the exact same DC voltage. This will cause the same amount of heating in a resistor.


When you stepup ac voltage the current drops.What will happen with CURRENT if DC is stepped up?

WHEN YOU STEP UP THE VOLTAGE AND THE LOAD IS THE SAME MORE CURRENT WILL FLOW NOT LESS. AND THAT WILL HOLD TRUE FOR DC AS WELL. IF THE LOAD REMAINS THE SAME AND YOU INCREASE THE CURRENT AC OR DC THE VOLTAGE WILL INCREASE


Is DC voltage and average voltage same?

no, dc volatage is a type of current direct current, ac is alternating current, average voltage could be any type of voltage ac or dc that maintains a constant rangeAnswerNo. A DC voltage is exactly equivalent to an AC rms-voltage. So, for example, 100 V (DC) is exactly equivalent to 100 V (AC rms). The average value of an AC waveform is zero.


Will lower DC voltage or higher DC voltage burn out switch contacts faster if current and resistance stay the same?

if there is resistance in the contact surface , it would heat up more with higher voltage .


What are 4 types of DC voltage?

There is only 1 type of DC voltage, and that is direct current. In order to better answer your question, you need to be more specific.

What will happen when a dc source is used in front of a diode in half wave rectifier?

If the DC source biases the diode off, then the output will be zero. If it biases the diode on, then the output will be DC, with the voltage being nearly the same as the input voltage.

What is DC to DC conversion?

A DC to DC converter is a type of switching regulated powersupply whose input is a DC voltage, it then switches that rapidly to make AC, which is applied to the primary of a transformer, the transformer then either steps up or down the voltage as desired, the AC from the secondary is then rectified and filtered to provide the output DC voltage. Regulation circuitry measures the output DC voltage, continuously adjusting the switching circuits on the input to keep the output constant.Most switching regulated powersupplies are DC to DC converters with a simple unregulated rectifier and filter to convert the input AC to DC. Usually it is called a powersupply when it provides more than one output DC voltage or if its input is AC; whereas it is called a converter only if it provides just one output DC voltage and its input is DC. But most of the circuitry is the same in both cases.
