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 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 the difference between 60 htz and 120 htz?
the difference between 60Hz and 120 Hz is that. 60 hz wave will have wavelength of 0.016667 meter and change positive negative cycles 60 times in one second . while in 120Hz wave it can change positive and negative half cycles 120 times in a second and also has wavelength 8.333 mm
Why can screens and televisions in Holland work with a picture frequency of 60 Hz but this won't work in the US?
Different video coding.
Can you use 110v 60Hz supply for 110v 50Hz equipment?
If the load is non inductive and straight resistive then there is no problem. Inductive loads like motors, a 60 Hz device can be used on 50 Hz but it is much harder on the equipment if 50 Hz is used on a 60 Hz system.
If 60 hz ac supply used in India?
It would cost the utility companies and consumers billions of dollars to change all of the equipment to 60 Hz. You have England to thank for your 50 Hz systems.
Difference between FREQUENCY 50 Hz 60 Hz?
10 Hz 10 Hz
How do you know if 110v device can be used in 120v outlet?
110V and 120V are essentially the same thing--don't worry about that. 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz is more important, for some devices. North America is 60 Hz; much of the rest of the world is 50 Hz.
Will 60 hz devices work on 50hz?
the maximum rating is 60 hz . it is work in50hz
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.
Why 50 Hz signal is used in power transmission instead of 60 Hz in Bangladesh?
convention based on original british systems installed.
Will 60Hz appliances work on 50 Hz?
Some may, some may not. I remember a case where my city made a large investment in traffic lights... and found that they were for a different frequency, and couldn't be used. (I don't know how the case ended.) To be on the safe side, see the specifications; if it says "60 Hz", use it only for 60 Hz; if it says something like "50/60 Hz", you can use it anywhere.Some may, some may not.

What is the frequency of AC current in North America?
In North America 60 Hertz. Europe 50 Hertz.
What does a 60-Hz aternating current do?
Everything, in a country like the USA where the normal supply works on 60 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.
