Ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current?

The reason an AC voltage applied across a load resistance produces alternating current is because when you have AC voltage you have to have AC current. If DC voltage is applied, DC current is produced.


What type of electric current is produced by fuel cells and solar cells?

ac


When a car is running is the current ac or DC?

AC (alternating current) is produced in the the alternator. It is converted to DC (direct current) in the alternator by a configuration of diodes called a bridge rectifier. The remainder of the electrical system is DC.


How you can store electric current which is produced from ac generator?

First ac has to be rectified into dc and then that could be stored in a secondary cell in the form of chemical energy.


What is the function of a rectifier within an alternator?

A rectifier turns the Alternating Current (AC) produced by the Alternator into Direct Current (DC) that your car uses.


What type of current produced in alternator?

Alternators usually produce AC current but in an automobile the current is fed through diodes which coverts it to DC power that the car can use.


How is alternating current (AC) generated?

Alternating current (AC) is generated by rotating a coil of wire within a magnetic field, which induces an alternating voltage in the coil. This process is known as electromagnetic induction and is the principle behind how AC electricity is produced in power plants.


Why must you use ac current for transformer?

Transformer is based on the principal of mutual inductance.Induction is produced due to sinusoidal wave form thats why we use Alternating current inspite of Direct current.


What condition will sinusoidal voltage be generated in a coil of wire that rotates in a magnetic field?

a generator or alternator,if the magnetic is permanent the current produced from the coil will be alternating current ac.


Does a fan run on a dc current or ac current?

AC


How can you block ac current?

You can block AC current by using a filter with a pass-band that is outside the frequency of the AC current.
