!! In India and most of the other countries user ac current. Hence, all the appliances are ac dependable. So generating ac directly would allow up to directly feed the appliances without any converter circuit.

What is difference between advantage and disadvantage AC and DC power transmission line?

The main advantage of ac- it required less maintainance The main disadvantage of ac-it can not be stored the main advantage of dc -it required less amount of conductors to transmit and easily stored The main disadvantage of dc-it is more dangerous than ac at high voltage


How kirchhoff laws will differ for AC circuit?

Kirchoff's Law is universally applicable, to AC as well as DC loops.


What is the main advantage of DC over AC for aircraft electrical power systems?

It doesn't have to be rectified. That's the ONLY advantage; the electrical systems in all but the smallest planes are 400Hz AC systems.


Why the ac supply is used in India not dc supply?

AC is pretty much the standard anywhere, not just in India. For distribution of electric power, AC has a clear advantage over DC in that it can easily be transformed to higher or lower voltages, and can be generated easily (since most generators lend themselves more directly to the generation of AC).In electricity distribution, DC plays a growing role in the past few decades because electronic circuitry can now support high-energy DC systems. These are sometimes used for very long haul electricity distribution (famously in South Africa and Russia); their advantage is that DC makes better use of the cable diameter (no skin effect).


Why are transmission voltages in ac systems generally higher than those in dc systems?

The main advantage of using ac is that you can step up and step down the voltage by means of a transformer,since transformer works only with ac. another thing is that if dc power is used for transmission,then the power loss associated with t will demand the use of transmission lines which are very thick(have a larger cross section)..for long distance transmission this may lead to the requirement of power lines with impractical dimensions.

What are the advantages of powering a city with ac rather than dc?

There are actually several downsides to AC rather than DC, but there's one overwhelming advantage that means we use it anyway: transmission losses are lower.

Is DC or AC current faster?

AC current is not necessarily faster than DC current. The speed of current flow depends on the specific characteristics of the circuit and the components involved, rather than the type of current being used.


How AC compressor clutch bearing?

The clutch bearing for an AC compressor is located in the center of the clutch. If the bearing goes bad, then the clutch is replaced as a whole part rather than changing the bearing.

Why can not store ac in battery?

Batteries are storing charge or free electrons. The state is by nature a fixed voltage rather than a varying voltage. You can convert the battery charge to AC by using what is called an inverter.


Is 1 volt more then 1 DC volt?

No, it is the same. DC stands for direct current rather than AC, which is alternating current.


What is perhaps the single most important advantage of using AC compared to dc current?

AC current can be transmitted with less loss
