There is no such thing as phase in DC as phase requires AC.

To have two or more things out of phase requires them to be changing. Only AC does that. DC is steady state.

How many people still use DC electricity?

If you are talking about DC power line electricity, it is no longer used in homes or industry however many electric rail systems (e.g. trolley, highspeed trains) use DC electricity as DC motors have several advantages for motive power compared to AC motors. A few very long transmission power lines use DC electricity, but the DC is converted back to AC electricity before being distributed to customers. Certain industries (e.g. electroplating, aluminum refining) use DC internally, but they use large rectifiers to convert 3-phase AC to DC electricity when it enters the plant.If you are talking about electronic equipment (e.g. radios, computers, cell phones) these usually contain batteries. Everyone using battery powered electronics (or lighting, toys, cars, UPSs, etc.) uses DC electricity, because that is the way batteries provide electricity.Nearly everyone uses DC electricity, in battery powered devices.


In what phase does electricity in US WORK?

Your home will have single phase power coming to it.


What is a phase used for?

Phase converters are mostly used to convert single phase electricity into multiple phases or to convert multiple phases into one. They are usually installed to provide three phase electricity where an individual may not get it otherwise.


What is the ac equivalent of 98v DC?

120 volt single phase rectifies to about 96 volt DC


How does single phase alternator differ form a dc ganerator?

Single phase alters from positive to negative at 50 (50hz) or 60 (60hz) times per minute. While in dc it does not vary but stays at a constant positive phase.

Can a 6 watt dc generator produce that much electricity which can be used to run a 3 phase and a 2 phase motor?

"2 phase" and "3 phase" are descriptions of AC supplies, which no DC generator can imitate, regardless of its power rating.


What year did Nikola Tesla invent electricity?

Nikola Tesla did not invent electricity, but he did come up with the poly phase AC system which the world runs on today. I believe he had the notion in his head long before a formal patent application was applied for. I believe 1887 he started work in his new laboratory and within a few months was able to apply patents on the entire poly phase system. (single phase, two phase, and three phase wiring)


Who was the first to use electricity successfully?

Nikola Tesla invented the poly-phase A/C (alternating current) distribution system currently used worldwide.

Classification of ac motor?

ac:1) 1 phase 2) poly phase 3)universal


What is alternating electricity?

same as DC electricity


Is three phase is ac or dc?

Three phase is ac


Car electricity uses ac or DC?

DC


What kind of electricity is produced by a car?

the alternator produces a 3 phase AC electrical current that is "converted" into a single phase DC electrical current. This is done courtesy of the diode trio located in the regulator assembly of the alternator. typical output of an alternator is about 14 v DC and about .1 V AC.


Is electricity AC Or DC currant which one?

Electricity or rather electric currant can be either AC or DC. AC means alternating current (as in that electricity that is supplied by the mains) and DC means direct current (as in that electricity supplied by a battery)..


What does DC stand for in terms of electricity?

DC: Direct Current
