Does a computer use AC or dc power?
Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.
Can you use an AC Dimmer Switch on a DC fan?
No, an AC dimmer switch is designed to work with AC-powered devices, not DC. DC fans require a different type of dimmer switch specifically rated for DC power. Using an AC dimmer switch on a DC fan can potentially damage the fan or the switch itself.
Do phones use ac or dc?
Some devices operate on AC and others on DC. Generally, anything that uses mains electricity (120V US, 240V UK) is using AC electricity and things that use batteries or are rechargable like cell phones, ipods, personal CD, use DC electricity.
Battery ac or DC?
Batteries can provide both AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) power, depending on the type of device they are connected to. However, most batteries themselves supply DC power. Devices that require AC power typically use an inverter to convert the battery's DC power into AC power.
Does 48 volt dcwork with 100watt ac bulb?
No, a 48-volt DC power supply cannot directly power a 100-watt AC bulb. AC bulbs are designed to operate on alternating current, typically at standard voltages like 120V or 240V, and require an AC waveform. To use a 48-volt DC supply, you would need a compatible DC bulb or a DC-AC inverter to convert the DC to AC at the required voltage and frequency.
Can you use normal AC fuse link in DC supply?
yes, but you must derate the voltage as DC arc across blown fuse is not self quenching as is AC arc.
Can use an ac rated fuse on a dc circuit?
if it matches the current rating.... then no problem.
How ac change to DC?
by the use of inverter we can convert ac to dc.
Does Australia use ac or dc?
240v ac
How can a radio use both DC and AC?
Radios use DC power supplies to operate. If a radio is powered from a mains AC supply, a power supply circuit will convert the AC supply to DC. Therefore, a radio may have both a DC and an AC power input but ultimately, the internal circuitry will always use DC.
Does a car use DC or AC power?
the car use dc current dear
Can you run a DC unit off ac?
no the dc unit will be damaged . but , if you have no other options left then you have to use a rectifier to convert the ac into dc .
How do you increase voltage 5v-12v?
AC or DC? AC - use a transformer, DC - forget it - not simple or cheap.
How do you increase voltage 5v 12v?
AC or DC? AC - use a transformer, DC - forget it - not simple or cheap.
What instruments do AC to dc current use?
I would assume that you mean what devices do you use to convert ac current to dc current?The answer is Diodes.seediode-bridge
Why do you still use both ac and DC?
Because some appliances work with ac current and some with dc current.
Why not you use ac instead of dc to electronic components?
AC is easier and cheaper to send from the generators to the consumers than DC is.
