Who invented AC generator?

Michael Faraday discovered the operating principle of electromagnetic generators.


Why was the ac electrical generator invented?

"AC" is just a scientific term that refers to the fact that this generator produces electricity in an Alternating Current as opposed to "DC" which refers to Direct Current. Commonly, the plug outlet on the wall is AC, and the little black box electrical adapter for your cordless telephone is changing that AC current into DC current for the phone to work on. The phone line in your house runs on 24 volts DC, where the wall sockets are 124 volts AC.


What was invented between 1890 and 1920?

Wright and Langley's Aeroplanes. (first durable aircraft.) Fordism (or the assemblyline.) Refridgerator Technology Electrical Lighting (The light bulb was invented in 1869, but electrical lighting wasn't invented until 1895 and AC/DC current wasn't invented until 1919.) Woodsilk or what we now call Rayon. (fabric) Steel Alloys Stainless Steel The combustion engine Tractor.


What are the benefits of ac on dc?

The main advantage of alternating current (AC) over direct current (DC) is safety.DC locks you onto the current AC throws you away as it alternates.AC was invented by Nikola Tesla.Another advantageis that it may be transformed to a very high voltage for transmission over great distances. By doing so the losses due to line resistance are reduced since the current, for a given power, is reduced in inverse proportion.


Are Christmas lights ac or dc current?

Christmas light have always been AC.
