yes, by stepping it up or down with a transformer.

When ac convert in dc then voltage will increase or decrease?

You can make it so it does either increase or decrease. The limiting factor is that power out cannot exceed power in. So going to a higher voltage will limit current and going to a lower voltage will increase current available. A2 Because AC is continuously changing in a sinusoidal waveform, it is hard to determine the exact voltage. It is usually called by it's RMS value (Root Mean Squared). The result is that when you fully rectify an AC voltage, the DC voltage is actually HIGHER than the RMS AC voltage.


What is the name of the component that is used to increase or decrease alternating voltage?

A transformer is used to increase or decrease alternating voltage.


Who to increase torque of ac motors?

ac voltage


Is tranformer used to increase or decrease AC voltage?

The function of any transformer is to change one AC voltage value to another AC voltage value. A step down transformer will transform a higher AC voltage to a lower AC voltage. A step up transformer will transform a lower AC voltage to a higher AC voltage. The transmission of electrical power uses both of these types of transformers. From the generation station the voltage is stepped up to a very high transmission voltage and at the end of the transmission line it is stepped down to a voltage that consumers can utilize.


Is the capacitor used in the ac system to reduce line voltage?

Usually capacitors in an AC system are there to improve the power factor. Transformers are used to increase or decrease line voltages.


How do you decrease voltage?

Increase resistance


When are electromagnets used to increase or decrease the voltage of electric currents?

Electromagnets are never used to increase or decrease the voltage in a circuit. These magnets in conjunction with a rotating device (an armature) can create a voltage but the do not have any effect on a voltage.


Does transformer doubles the power?

No. Power is constant. Transformers neither increase nor decrease power, except for minor losses. They increase or decrease voltage, and they decrease or increase current, but the product of voltage and current, i.e. power, remains the same.


Should you increase voltage or resistance to increase flow in a circuit?

To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance


Which component slow down the current in circuit?

An inductive load can cause current to lag voltage in an AC circuit. An increase in resistance will decrease amount of current flow.


When a battery runs out does the battery voltage increase decrease or stay the same?

It should decrease


WHAT IS THE function of transformers?

Mainly to increase or to decrease the incoming voltage
