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.


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 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.


What component converts AC into clean DC power?

By using rectification we can convert the AC into DC....


Why diodes are used after center tapped transformer in dc to ac inverter?

Diodes are used after a center-tapped transformer in a DC to AC inverter to rectify the alternating current (AC) output of the transformer into pulsating direct current (DC). This rectified voltage is then smoothed using filters to produce a more stable DC waveform. The diodes act as one-way valves, allowing current to flow in only one direction, thus converting the AC voltage into a pulsating DC voltage.

Does a car run on AC or DC?

The power supply in most cars is DC. The alternator may produce AC power, but it is then run through a rectifier, providing DC power.


What is cheaper to buy ac or dc welder?

A dc welder is a lot cheaper by fair of the two


Who is the main target for AC DC?

The main target of AC AND DC IS TO GIVE SUUPLY TO CONUMERS WERE AS AC CURRENT IS CHEAPER COMPARING WITH DC


Can a ac motor produce electricity?

Technically YES. But the source of power in Electric cars being DC through batteries, the motor must be DC and not AC.


What IS AC power and DC power?

AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.


Why will a dc motor produce v but not an ac motor?

Motors do not produce voltage, current, or power. They use them.they produce mechanical output.


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.


Does watt meter use for ac and dc?

No, on dc the power is measured by the produce of the voltage and current so there is no need for a wattmeter, which would not work on dc anyway.


What is the Purpose of an ac welder?

It produces alternating current AC. It is cheaper to build than a DC or an AC - DC welder. Most electrodes can be used with DC. Some can be used for both. Very few are AC only. DC produces a smoother arc, is easier to strike an arc and most machines in industry are DC. Surprisingly a lot of AC machines are on farms as they were cheaper to buy.


Is car power AC or DC?

DC


Are TV's in buses AC or DC input?

Televisions in buses can be either AC or DC current. It depends on whether the bus is using a DC to AC power convertor or an AC generator or DC power from the battery.


Who is better ac or DC transmission?

ac transmission is better. because it is cheaper as converter are not use.but losses are more as comparison to dc.
