How electricity travels through power cords?

Electricity travels through power cords via the flow of electrons. When a power cord is connected to an electrical outlet, the electrons begin to move through the copper wires of the cord due to the presence of an electric field. The flow of electrons creates an electric current that can power electronic devices or appliances connected to the cord.


How much current flows in a 75-walt's light-bulb connected to a 110 voltage wall outlet?

The current flowing through the 75-watt light bulb connected to a 110-volt wall outlet can be calculated by using the formula: Power = Voltage x Current. Therefore, the current flowing through the light bulb would be approximately 0.68 amps.


What is term used when an Alternating current acts like a direct current?

Perhaps you are asking how the voltage of alternating current is measured, to be equivalent to the voltage of a direct current system. Alternating current and direct current have distinct properties. With direct current, voltage is at a constant polarity, and a direct current voltage source will maintain a uniform, constant voltage level. Alternating current reverses polarity at a given frequency and therefore it's voltage continuously varies from a positive peak voltage level, through zero, to a negative peak voltage level, repeating this cycle continuously. For this reason, voltage of an alternating current system, is measured in root-mean-square (rms), which is a voltage, which when multiplied by the current in amperes, calculates power which is equivalent to that of direct current of the same voltage and current values. With a typical sinusoidal waveform, the peak voltage of alternating current is divided by the square root of 2 to determine the rms voltage. The 120 volts output in the wall outlet in our home is actually about 170 peak volts.


What is power available from 110 VAC outlet?

The power available from a 110 VAC outlet can be calculated using the formula P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts (110V in this case) and I is current in amps. The maximum power output can be estimated as 1100 watts for a standard 110 VAC outlet.


Can only direct current be used for charging batterys?

No, alternating current (AC) can also be used to charge batteries using a charger that converts AC to DC. The charger will convert the AC power from the outlet to DC power that is suitable for charging the battery.

What is a currnet?

Direct current is a flow of electricity which only goes one way. Batteries, for example, produce direct current, so the current must flow all the way through a circuit and back into the battery to work. Alternating current is what comes out of a wall outlet, and it alternates in both directions, with current flowing in and out of the outlet.


What is ac welding?

AC welders use electric voltage directly from an alternating current outlet.


What type of energy does an outlet have?

An outlet typically provides electrical energy in the form of alternating current (AC) that powers electronic devices when plugged in.


What is the electricity that commonly comes from a wall outlet?

Alternating current. 120 volt in North America, 220 volt in the rest of the world.


What changes alternating current into direct current?

Yes but is somewhat complicated to get good level DC from an AC source.================================Answer #1.5 :All electronic devices operate on DC ... radios, TVs, computers, stereos, etc.If the device plugs into the wall outlet for power to operate, then the AC fromthe wall outlet is used to produce DC internally to run the device.


What does acdc means?

AC/DC basically stands for "alternating current/direct current" which is an indication that electricity is changing from an alternating current (e.g. from your wall outlet) to a 'direct current' (e.g. your T.V.). Brothers Malcolm and Angus Young felt that this perfectly symbolised the music they wanted to make (i.e. raw energy, performances driven by power and a sheer love of music).


What is meant by 220 volts AC?

In US household electrical service there are two "hot" 110 volt wires and one ground. Only one hot wire is connected to a normal outlet or light fixture. To wire a 220 volt alternating current outlet, both hot wires are connected to the outlet. This is used for appliances that need more power than is provided by 110 volts like electric ranges, clothes dryers, air conditioners.
