Of course you can!

A transformer can change the voltage from 120 to 36.

A rectifier can turn AC into DC.

If you need constant voltage, capacitors to regulate flow can be added.

Can you convert a 120 volt plug in into a plug to go in your cigar plug in a car?

You could if you have an inverter that can change 12 VDC to 120 VAC. Just plug it into the cigar lighter socket. On the back of the inverter there will be a 120 volt receptacle built into the inverter. Check the load of what you want to plug into it to ascertain that you purchase the correct size of inverter. <><><><><> Keep in mind that power is power, and a typical cigar lighter socket puts out about 72 watts. The inverter will only be able to do less than that.


What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?

Should be about 120 VAC.


How do you convert 24 vac to 5 vac?

You can use a transformer with a turns ratio of 24:5 to convert 24 VAC to 5 VAC. This means the primary winding has 24 turns for every 5 turns on the secondary winding, which will step down the voltage proportionally. Make sure the transformer is rated for the appropriate power and frequency.


How 240 VAC achieved in a 120 VAC environment North America home?

By connecting two separate 120 VAC legs into one. If they are and if it comes to your home from a local utility they will be, it will add to 240. Whenever combining AC or Sine waves into one for the purpose of adding they must be in phase.


How do you convert Vac to Vp?

To convert from Vac (Volts alternating current) to Vp (Volts peak), you can use the formula Vp = Vac * √2. This accounts for the peak value of an AC signal being √2 times the RMS value. Simply multiply the Vac value by √2 to get the equivalent Vp value.

Why do you need power supply?

Power supplies are need by many electronic devices for several reasons. Most devices need one or more DC voltages. Only AC power is available at a common household outlet.Power supplies, among other things, usually must convert AC power to DC power.AC = Alternating CurrentDC = Direct CurrentVDC = Volts of Direct CurrentComputers, for example, need a power supply to convert 120 VAC line power to 6 VDC, 9 VDC and possibly 12 VDC. You will understand this more fully once you get further into the study of things like trigonometry, the calculus, basic circuit design, etc.
