There is only 1 type of DC voltage, and that is direct current. In order to better answer your question, you need to be more specific.

Do batteries provide a DC voltage or an AC voltage?

Batteries produce DC because the potential difference is determined by the chemical reaction inside the battery. This voltage is constant.


How can you 120 volts AC to 5 volts DC?

By a DC power supply that runs at 230 volts AC. Basically, you need a full wave rectifier (4 diodes) to convert AC into all positive voltage. Then you need capacitors to smooth out the ripple and then various resistors to reduce the voltage.


Can one get shocked by DC voltage?

unfortunately yes! A DC voltage is potentially more dangerous than an AC voltage due to the fact that ac swings from positive to negative and therefore passing zero volts in the process. If you were say, holding a piece of metal with AC across it you have more chance of letting go than holding the same piece with DC across it. DC is "constantly on" if you like... be careful!


Is 30 volts of AC voltage the same as 30 volts of DC voltage?

30VAC is not equal and will never be equal to 30VDC. If you rectify 30v ac to DC you will get a voltage lower than 30v because there would be a voltage drop across the rectifier=diode,capacitor,resistor and transistors or thyristor, depending on the make of the rectifier.AnswerAs the questioner makes no mention using a rectifier, yes, 30 V a.c. is exactly equivalent to 30 V d.c. This is because a.c. voltages are root-mean-square values (unless otherwise stated) which, by definition, correspond to d.c. voltages.


What instrument used to measure alternating current?

A multimeter has the ability to measure both AC and DC current along with voltage and resistance.

4 what is the name of the circuit that adds a positive or negative dc voltage to an input sine wave?

This DC voltage is called the DC offset. Any decent signal generator will be able to add DC offset to the signal it generates. If you don't have one, simply connect a DC voltage to your signal.


What will happen if you use AC voltage instead of DC voltage?

For some equipment it doesn't matter, other types of equipment will be destroyed. For a simple electric heater or an incandescent bulb AC or DC are acceptable, provided the rms voltage of the AC is equal to the DC voltage. If the heater has a time switch, DC is unacceptable. A DC motor may or may not work with AC depending on its type and size. The commutator motor as used in vacuum cleaners is essentially a DC motor, but most types of AC motor are not interchangeable to DC. Electronic circuits usually required a DC supply and if AC is applied many of the components will be destroyed.


How many types of voltage?

There are primarily two types of voltage: direct voltage (DC) and alternating voltage (AC). DC voltage maintains a constant polarity and flows in one direction, commonly used in batteries and electronic devices. AC voltage, on the other hand, changes polarity periodically and is typically used in power distribution systems and household electricity. Additionally, voltage can be categorized based on its level, such as low, medium, and high voltage, depending on the application.

What is commutation in DC machines?

It is the process of conversion of generated ac voltage into the armature of a dc generator to dc voltage at the terminal of the dc generator by use of pair of brushes and commutator. OR It is the process of conversion of given dc voltage at the terminal of the dc motor to ac voltage in the armature windings in a dc motor by use of pair of brushes and commutator.

What voltage is DC?

A voltage DC(direct current voltage) is a uni-direction steady voltage. It is the opposite of an analog/alternative voltage which varies in polarity and direction with time.
