Is a AC adapter the same as a charger?
An ac adapter converts ac current into dc current through a rectifier, and a battery charger outputs dc current at an adjustable powerful charging rate and also converts ac current to dc current to charge different sizes of batteries.
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.
Can rheostat run on AC current and DC current?
Yes, a rheostat can be used with both AC and DC currents. The rheostat's variable resistor can be adjusted to control the current flowing through a circuit, regardless of whether it is AC or DC.
How does an ac power source differ from a dc power source?
AC power sources are the adapter power sources. DC power sources are the direct power sources. DC stands for direct current, meaning it is a direct source of energy., and AC stands for alternating current, which means it is a secondary source of power.
Would you expect to find dc or ac in the filament of a light bulb in your home. In the headlight of an automobile?
In the filament of a light bulb in your home, you would typically find AC current since most household electricity is AC. In the headlight of an automobile, you would expect to find DC current, as cars typically use batteries that provide DC power for lighting systems.
What type of device produces alternating current?
A "generator" usually produces DC current. An "alternator" usually produces AC current. Older cars up to the 1960's used generators. Newer cars use alternators (simpler design) with diode rectifiers to convert the AC to DC. Batteries are DC. Some electronic circuitry (inverters) can change DC to AC.
What device converts dc current to ac current?
A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.
What is the sign for ac and DC current?
AC means alternating current DC means direct current there is no polarity reversal
Do cars use AC or DC current?
Most automotive applications use DC, although the alternator is an AC device which uses a rectifier to produce DC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current
What is the difference between ac and dc grounding?
The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.
What are the two kinds electricity?
Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

Does a fan run on a dc current or ac current?
AC
Which is the device that converts AC to DC?
A Rectifier converts Alternating current into Direct current
What is DC-AC?
AC/DC is a rock band. Their name refers to "alternating current direct current.
Is car battery ac or DC volts?
Batteries by definition have to be DC. While u can convert DC to AC, with a device called an Inverter, none is built into a car battery. and chances are your car doesn't even have an Inverter anywhere in it. so car is DC. in addition modern cars use 12 volts, and for the record, AC and DC are not a "type of volt," they are types of current, (Direct Current, Alternating Current).
Did ceiling fan operate on dc or ac current?
ac current
What IS AC power and DC power?
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
