Are diodes only used in a dc circuit?
There are lots of diodes - a "diode" is simply a device that has two electrical connections.If you refer specifically to the rectifying diode, it is used to convert AC current to DC current - so, it is used in a circuit that has BOTH AC and DC.
What converts an alternating current to diredt current?
Alternating Current can be converted to Direct Current by using a DC Converter which contain a Bridge Circuit , a Capacitor and if needed a Transformer.CommentA 'DC converter' is normally called a rectifier.
What does 10-32 vdc power source mean?
It means that a)the the power source gives outputs between 10 and 32 volts DC current OR b)The device needs beteen 10 and 32 volts DC current
Can dc current work on transformer?
Transformer is by definition can transform only AC current. But it's possible to build device that can step up or step down DC voltage directly. These are called DC-DC converters not transformers.
What is a voltage rectifier?
A rectifier is a device that is used to "change" (rectify) some kind of alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). There is more to the story, but basically the rectifier is a "one-way" device that will permit current to flow though it in only one direction. That way one or more of these devices can be used in different curcuit configurations to change an AC input into a DC output.
Which is the device that converts AC to DC?
A Rectifier converts Alternating current into Direct current
What type of device runs on DC current?
dc motor
What device converts dc current to ac current?
A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.
Is there DC alternator?
An alternator is a device that converts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). If you need to convert AC to DC, then you need a rectifier.
Why electronics device used dc current only?
DC direct current is be coming more popular than AC alternating current AC is not really suitable for some devices maybe your device is needing low current
Can a 12v battery be used in a 12v device?
the answer is yes as long as the device works on dc current and not ac current if you tell me what the device is i might be able to help further
What changes alternating current into direct current?
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 fromthe wall outlet is used to produce DC internally to run the device.
What supplies direct current?
device what produce dc are battrey genorators
Can resistors stores current?
No, a resistor cannot store current. A capacitor is a passive device that can store a small amount of DC current.
What device can be used to increase current in a DC circuit?
Transformer or instrument transformer. It can increase and decrease current output.
What is an ac transistors?
As far as I know, transistors - and other electronic devices - basically work with DC, not AC. If a computer (for example) is plugged into an AC outlet, some device within the computer must first convert the AC current into DC current, which is then fed to the electronic components.
When would a DC to DC converter be used?
A DC to DC converter would be used when one needs to recharge a battery in a portable device, such as a cellular phone or a laptop computer. The converter transfers voltage current from the electricity from the wall into the batteries device.
