Lightning is static electricity. It's a buildup of charge, and it is facilitated by charge separation. In that light, it is DC.

You cant.

Can we produce electricity from lightning?

No. Lightning is a DC discharge of short duration at a very high voltage. To be useful for commercial production it has to be a continuousness alternating current (AC) supply of voltage. Only AC supplies can be manipulated to be boosted to a higher voltage for transmission and then lowered for use by transformation to lower home voltages.


Can you connect an AC source in series to DC source - then what happens to the current under a steady state condition?

With an AC and a DC voltage source in series, the DC voltage can be added to the RMS value of the AC voltage to give the effective voltage.


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.


Is DC is at low voltage than ac?

There's no correlation between the voltage, the current, and whether the source is AC or DC.


Why smps convert ac to dc and again to dc to dc?

first it converts ac to dc as rectifier But the required dc voltage is obtained by taking average of on & off DC input voltage.


How do you make ac into DC in a ac transformer?

You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater


Is lightning AC or DC?

Lightning is a form of electrical discharge that is primarily AC (alternating current) in nature.


Why is rectification needed?

To convert AC voltage to DC voltage.
