We know that in a.c frequency changes after 50 sec in the case of 50 hz frequency.
AC or DC voltage, it is the potential difference that counts and also the state of body whether wet or dry which determines the body resistance. It also depends on the insulation of the ground ( an insulator like rubber mat will reduce shock or wearing a boot) Usually DC voltage we encounter is very low voltage of max 50V while AC Voltage is 230V. This could be the reason that electrocution is more in AC than DC. Alternating or Direct potential has no role to play. AC changes so fast ( 50 cycles per second), the fall and rise in potential doesn't has bearing on shock.

AC or DC more dangerous?
yes it is 230 v is deadly, it doesn't matter if it's ac or dc. Some people say one is more dangerous than the other. That implies that there is some voltage, lower than 230 v, at which one will kill you but the other will not. There is no conclusive evidence for that, so it can't be said that ac is more dangerous than dc or vice versa.
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.
Why is AC better than DC?
AC power can be transmitted more efficiently than DC.
What are the advantages of DC to ac inverter?
Dc invereters are not well suited as compared to ac inverters.This is due to the reason because ac inverters are more efficient ,less dangerous and good for supply over distance.
What is the output voltage of megger is it ac or DC?
megger are available in ac &dc
What happens when a 230V dc series motor supplied by 230V ac?
it will not run
What happens when you pass a 230V ac supply to a man and what happens when you pass 230V dc supply to a man?
He dies.

Why ac current is more dangerous than dc?
no actually dc current is more dangerous than ac because dc is a direct current and has no current zero condition ,which is very dangerous and do not leave us if we get shock while ac current leave us when we get shock
Will using a transformer to convert 230V to 12V DC consume more energy than using a few capacitors and resistors without a transformer?
no, the transformer is much more efficient <><><> HOWEVER- a transformer only changes the voltage of AC current- it does not change it to DC. You will still need diodes or rectifiers. You can also use a motor/generator- a 230v AC motor turns a 12 v DC generator.
How do you design an inverter with input 12v dc to 230v ac?
A: Make the 230 AC into 12 DC or anything else in between. Then the input becomes immaterial as source An OR diode can decide the source
How many volts does a computer monitor use?

Which is more dangerous ac or DC shock?
DC is more dangerous because its magnitude doen't goes zero instantly after every half cycle as in case of AC .
1000w 24v dc is equal to how many watt in 230V AC?
The wattage would stay the same. It is the amperage that would change.
Can a Diode be used on a battery charger?
ya. we are using diode in a battery charger to convert ac into dc. 230v dc is step down by using step down transformer
Why is AC better than DC?
AC power can be transmitted more efficiently than DC.
Which is more dangerous AC or DC?
I am not 100% sure but I think DC is more dangerous than AC.Both are dangerous. It is difficult to put numbers on it, as there are too many variables which determine the amount of current which flows through you when you get a shock. There is only one safe course when dealing with electricity, and that is to assume it is always dangerous and always avoid touching anything live.
