one note on Dc, and AC voltages? sure
A DC is a Direct current, which means more accuracy and power. The device using DC power will maintain its action for longer with more accuracy.
Whilst AC is commonly used for lights and other unimportant devices.
That's the first note i could come up with.
------------------------
DC is direct current which as the name implies, the electrons (of the current) flow in ONE direction.
AC is alternating current, which as the name implies, the current alternates and has a "useable/definable" frequency.
AC has no definite terminal (Positive or negative) as the direction of the current always changes. This frequent switching can be seen as a sine wave.

How many volts does a computer monitor use?
from the wall it could be 115v ac, or in non American countries that use it 230v ac. internal voltages range from 12v dc, 5v dc, 3.3v dc.
How many voltage supply is used for Indian railways?
Voltages used are 1.5kV DC and 25kV AC for mainline trains
Can DC bulb using ac?
yes provided that power consumption is definedAnswerAC voltages are expressed as root-mean-square values, which are exactly equivalent to the corresponding value of a DC voltage. So a, say, 120-V incandescent lamp would operate at exactly the same brightness whether connected to 120 V (AC) or 120 V (DC). So, there is no such thing as a 'DC light bulb'!
What is the output voltage of megger is it ac or DC?
megger are available in ac &dc
What is the difference while applying kcl to dc and ac circuits?
KCL is Common to both AC and DC. Only the waveform or AC and DC will differ
What are the different voltages for DC?
Like AC, DC can be at any voltage.
What is the uses of volmeter?
For measuring voltages, both Ac and Dc
How do you Calculate the contact rating of relay for AC and DC?
On the side of the relay there is a name plate that tells you the current carrying capacity of the contacts. It gives you the ratings at different AC voltages and a DC rating of the contacts at different voltages.
Is fluorescent lights fixtures ac or dc?
The basic fluorescent light fixture is AC, although there are fluorescent lights powered by DC.
What device is used to change the scale values of an AC ammeter?
A multimeter is used in which there is options for multirange measurement of Ac current or voltages and resistances and also DC voltages
Will an AC electric motor run on DC?
No ... AC means Alternating Current - DC means Direct Current. DC is used mostly for electronics and for voltages within our vehicles. AC is used for motors and for our household appliances and lamps.
Why does your digital multimeter read ac and dc on same terminal?
The switching of the circuitry is done internally for the different voltages. This is done when you move the switch on the front of the meter from AC to DC.
Which is more dangerous AC current or DC current when the voltages are equal?
either one, neither one
Who is the main target for AC DC?
The main target of AC AND DC IS TO GIVE SUUPLY TO CONUMERS WERE AS AC CURRENT IS CHEAPER COMPARING WITH DC
Which laser printer component converts AC line voltage into the DC voltages the printer can use?
As in all electronics devices that obtain power from the AC electric system, a power supply converts the AC to the DC voltage(s) needed by the electronics in the device. Depending on the needs of the device this power supply may deliver a single DC voltage or as many as several dozen different DC voltages.
Is there a difference between a DC shock and a AC shock?
Yeh buddy! A dc shock is a good shot. An ac shock causes muscles to alternate. Depending on the voltages from either it can be an enlightning experience.
How kirchhoff laws will differ for AC circuit?
Kirchoff's Law is universally applicable, to AC as well as DC loops.
