Yes but is somewhat complicated to get good level DC from an AC source.

================================

Answer #1.5 :

All electronic devices operate on DC ... radios, TVs, computers, stereos, etc.

If the device plugs into the wall outlet for power to operate, then the AC from

the wall outlet is used to produce DC internally to run the device.

Current that changes directions is call direct current?

No, that's Alternating Current.


Which apparatus changes a direct current to alternating current?

An inverter is the apparatus that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). It does this by converting the fixed voltage and direction of DC electricity into an oscillating voltage and alternating direction of AC electricity.


Compare alternating current with direct current?

Alternating current changes direction on a set frequency such as 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz. Direct current always flows in one direction.


Is your house alternating or direct current?

Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.


What are the two kinds electricity?

Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?

Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.


Lightning carries Alternating current or Direct Current?

Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.


Which charging system component converts alternating current into direct current?

Diode rectifier


What is ac and what is DC?

DC stands for "direct current", AC for "alternating current". A direct current flows in a single direction; an alternating current changes its direction all the time, typicall 100 or 120 times a second (twice the frequency, which is measured in hertz).


What is an electric current that periodically changes direction?

An electric current that periodically changes direction is called an alternating current (AC). In AC circuits, the flow of electric charge reverses direction many times per second, typically at a frequency of either 50 or 60 Hz. This is in contrast to a direct current (DC) in which the flow of electric charge remains constant in one direction.


What converts direct current to alternating current?

To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
