The hertz (symbol: Hz) is a unit of frequency. It is defined as the number of cycles per second. It is the basic unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), and is used worldwide in both general-purpose and scientific contexts. Hertz can be used to measure any periodic event; the most common uses for hertz are to describe radio and audio frequencies, more or less sinusoidal contexts in which case a frequency of 1 Hz is equal to one cycle per second.
Hertz are electromagnetic waves. More Hertz are generated when more number of cycles take place.
Hope this helps =)
ans #2: 50 and 60 Hz generators are synchronous machines (alternators), which means that they turn at the supply frequency. On a 50 Hz system they mostly turn at 3000 rpm or 50 rev/sec. When all the generators and loads are all connected to one grid system, they all have to run at exactly the same speed. When an alternator has an additional electrical load connected to it, the phase angle of the rotor drops back a little and the torque and power required to maintain the speed both increase.

What is 60 Hz used for?
50 Hz is the frequency of alternating current (ac) used by national electricity power services in Europe and several other world areas whilst 60 Hz is used in USA, Canada and many other countries in the world. 50 Hz means or specifies "50 cycles per second". Hz is the international technical abbreviation for the scientific unit of frequency, the hertz.
What is better 60 hz or 600 hz television?
600. Absolutely.
Is 220V US the same as in France Europe?
Europe uses 230V used to be 240 but was changed a few years back. In France, voltage is 220V and frequency is 50 hertz
What is the electrical voltage output in France?
230 V @ 50 Hz (like most of western Europe and the middle east).
What is the physical length of a voltage waveform?
Voltage does not have a waveform. The waveform is based upon the frequency of the voltage or current. A battery (any voltage) does not waveform, however the voltage coming into your house (US) has a frequency of 60 Hz. The length of the 60 hz waveformLength (in centimeters) = (3 x (10 ** 10))/ Frequency in hz =500 000 000 cm
What is dsadvantages of having 50 Hz supply over 60 Hz supply?
There is no inherent disadvantage of 50 Hz compared with 60 Hz, bearing in mind that systems that run at 50 Hz are designed to run at 50 Hz.
Difference between FREQUENCY 50 Hz 60 Hz?
10 Hz 10 Hz
How 60 hz generated?
Frequency is a function of the speed of the alternator and the number of poles. The symbol for 'hertz' is 'Hz', not'hz'.
If a bulb has 50 Hz frequency and it is apply at 60 Hz frequency voltage supply then it is glow or not?
If a bulb has 50 Hz frequency and it's supply is 60 Hz frequency, it will still glow, despite the allowance of 10 HZ frequency.
What is the frequency of AC current in North America?
In North America 60 Hertz. Europe 50 Hertz.
What is 50 hz motor?
It is a motor where the frequency of the AC voltage is 50 cycles per second. In U.S.A. 60 Hz is standard. 50 Hz would be overseas.
What is the electricity Hz in the UK?
The frequency that electricity is generated at in the UK is 50 Hertz.
What is the Hz rating on 100 Amp household service?
60 Hz in North America, 50 Hz in Europe.
Does an isolation transformer work from 50 Hz input to 60 Hz output?
Generally speaking, an isolation transformer will work pretty much the same for 50 Hertz as for 60 Hertz. There will be some slight differences, but the frequency is low enough and the the range narrow enough that the transformer will just "do its thing" regardless. Note that the isolation transformer won't change the frequency of the input. An input of 50 Hz or 60 Hz will yield an output of 50 Hz and 60 Hz respectively. No change should be expected.
Will an LCD tv 240 v 50 hz run on 240v 60 hz?
Yes !
What will happen 50 HZ motor when you will give 60 HZ?
motor will run at a faster rate.....
How does an electric clock made to operate on 60 HZ 120 V system behave if pluged into a 50 HZ 120 V system?
As clock motors are synchronous in design for a particular frequency, the 60 Hz clock will run slower on 50 Hz.
