What else can I help you with?
What is one way that alternating current is more useful than direct current-?
alternating current is easier to transfer long distances
Did Thomas Edison want direct current or alternating current?
Thomas Edison promoted direct current (DC) as the preferred method of electrical distribution. He believed DC was safer, cheaper, and more efficient than alternating current (AC) which was being championed by his rival, Nikola Tesla.
What type of electric current does a power plant generate for use in your home?
generally power plants produce ALTERNATING CURRENT,because after producing the current the are sent to substations where they are stepped up or stepped down.so a transformer is mainly used over there.for a transformer we cant supply direct current.we should supply only alternating current.so they only produce alternating current................... 4RM PRAJITH
What kind of electricity is commonly used today?
Alternating current (AC) electricity is the most commonly used type of electricity today. It is used to power homes and businesses because it is more efficient for long-distance transmission and can easily be converted to different voltages.
Is a house direct or alternating current?
The current flowing in a normal household lighting electric bulb is AC. DC systems are just a fraction of 1% in ordinary household systems.The current flowing in a flashlight bulb is Direct Current (DC) if the flashlight runs on batteries.
What is one way that alternative current is more useful than direct current?
alternating current is easier to transfer long distances

Which would make more shock the alternating current or direct current?
direct current
Why you used Alternating current in gas tungsten arc welding?
A couple primary reasons. 1 the current reversing itself helps to break up oxides on the surface of the metal. 2 Alternating current produces more heat in the arc which is useful in welding aluminum because heat dissipation is rapid in this metal.
Is direct current more harmful than alternating current?
yes it is very harmful
Did Thomas Edison want direct current or alternating current?

Why is alternating current more effective at long-distance travel than direct current?
Alternating current is more effective for long-distance travel than direct current because it can be easily converted to higher voltages, which reduces energy loss during transmission over long distances. This is due to the ability of alternating current to use transformers to increase voltage and decrease current, resulting in lower energy losses compared to direct current.
What does A.C.E MEAN?
Depending on how it's used, it can mean air conditioning, or it can mean alternating current (as electrically powered) as opposed to battery powered (DC, which is direct current). Or Animal Crossing
What is meant by alternative current?
Alternating current is more efficinent. It is wireless and more efficient than direct current. And it is safer. Plus Tesla is better than Edison
Electrons move from the power plant to homes in an alternating current?
Alternating current, yes. But it is not quite correct to say "electrons move to the homes... " rather, it is the CURRENT that moves to the home. It is more like a wave, where the energy is transmitted from one particle to the next.

Is 1 volt more then 1 DC volt?
No, it is the same. DC stands for direct current rather than AC, which is alternating current.
