First easy generation of electrical energy at low cost is by the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction

By using generators, ac and dc can be produced. AC by using slip rings and DC by using split rings.

The electrical power loss is mainly in the form of production of heat which is also known as I2R loss. To reduce such unwanted loss, we have to reduce the resistance. But that has its own limit. So better reduce the current. This is possible only when the voltage is stepped up to a larger extent. This is done using step up Transformers. Only ac can be used in transformer and not dc.

Thus ac is much more preferable to dc.

More Information:

ac is prefer over dc because dc is more dangerous then ac if voltage is high it can kill a person

What happens if you use an ac circuit breaker instead of dc breaker?

A circuit breaker is easier to design for ac than dc because alternating current (ac) naturally goes to zero 100 or 120 times per second and this helps to extinguish any arc. Therefore an ac circuit breaker would not be suitable for dc assuming the same voltage and current ratings.


How can a radio use both DC and AC?

Radios use DC power supplies to operate. If a radio is powered from a mains AC supply, a power supply circuit will convert the AC supply to DC. Therefore, a radio may have both a DC and an AC power input but ultimately, the internal circuitry will always use DC.


Can use an ac rated fuse on a dc circuit?

if it matches the current rating.... then no problem.


Which of what instrument used to convert ac to DC?

We don't use an 'instrument' to covert a.c. to d.c.. Rather, we use a circuit called a 'rectifier'.


If AC is replaced by DC in a fluorescent lamp circuit will the circuit work?

No.


What kind of supply is given to the circuit?

ac supply is given and then in the circuit rectifier converts ac to dc


Can we use AC capacitor in surge suppression circuit DC?

A capacitor is a capacitor, no matter what circuits you use it in. There is no difference between one used in AC and one in DC, except perhaps the size that is appropriate.


Why transformer action can take place in DC circuit?

Not clear what your question is. First of all, circuits are not classified as DC and AC. Circuits are what they are, and you can apply either AC or DC to any circuit. However, considering a circuit that was designed only for use with DC applied. Still your question is unclear. What is transformer action? "Transformer Action" happens in a transformer.


What is the cheapest way of converting ac to dc voltage?

One of the cheapest ways to convert AC to DC voltage is to use a simple rectifier circuit made with diodes. This circuit allows current to flow in only one direction, effectively converting AC to pulsating DC. However, for smoother DC output, you may need to add a filter capacitor to the circuit.


Why not you use ac instead of dc to electronic components?

AC is easier and cheaper to send from the generators to the consumers than DC is.


How do you conver ac power into pulsating DC What devices you need?
