In batteries Direct current is used (DC). This is because Batteries do not last very long and therefore are made to have certain voltage that can be used in most electronics. Batteries can be very hazardous if there is a short circuit that occurs.

In households the outlets are a form of Alternating current (AC). This is because AC is easier to use and has no big hazards (unless you stick a fork in the socket). If some of the outlets give out (die or burn out) the rest of the remaining sockets in that same area will still work.

How many 6 volt batteries would it take to power a blender that has a max of 350 watts?

The only safe way to run any small household appliance, such as a blender -- which uses alternating current (ac) -- from a battery -- which can only produce direct current (dc) -- is to use a power inverter unit such as the type sold for use in caravans, boats, etc. They can be obtained from car accessory shops and usually run off a 12 volt car battery.Before anyone could even start to give any other answer to this question they would have to know the motor's voltage and be sure if it can actually run on direct current. It may only run on alternating current as is delivered by a household power supply.Unless they are actually being trained or supervised by a qualified science teacher or electrician, in general it is very dangerous for someone who is a novice in working with any kind of electricity to plan to connect several batteries together to produce voltages as high as 120 or 240 volts.


The two types of outlets that are found in an electrical system are?

The two types of outlets commonly found in an electrical system are standard (or general-purpose) outlets and dedicated outlets. Standard outlets are designed for general use, accommodating a variety of devices and appliances, while dedicated outlets are specifically wired for high-power appliances, such as refrigerators or air conditioners, to ensure they operate safely and efficiently. Each type serves distinct purposes based on the electrical load requirements of the devices being used.
