Would you expect to find dc or ac in the filament of a light bulb in your home. In the headlight of an automobile?

In the filament of a light bulb in your home, you would typically find AC current since most household electricity is AC. In the headlight of an automobile, you would expect to find DC current, as cars typically use batteries that provide DC power for lighting systems.


Can you use an AC Dimmer Switch on a DC fan?

No, an AC dimmer switch is designed to work with AC-powered devices, not DC. DC fans require a different type of dimmer switch specifically rated for DC power. Using an AC dimmer switch on a DC fan can potentially damage the fan or the switch itself.


Is a AC adapter the same as a charger?

An ac adapter converts ac current into dc current through a rectifier, and a battery charger outputs dc current at an adjustable powerful charging rate and also converts ac current to dc current to charge different sizes of batteries.


Will your 60 watt solar panal light up a 12 volts bulb without inventor?

If it is a 12 volt panel it will light a 12 volt bulb. Most likely it is not a 12 volt panel, it is some other voltage, so you then need equipment like an inverter to convert the energy to 12-volt energy.


Would you expect to find DC or AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home?

The electrical grid in North America uses AC system. Your home is connected to the grid through your utility company. To answer the question, you will find AC in the filament of a light bulb in your home.

Can dc bulbs work on ac?

Yes- ac or dc makes no difference to a regular light bulb. However, it must be the correct voltage. DC bulbs used on a car are 12 volt, and household AC current is 120-240 volts.

How does an led light bulb work?

LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) work on DC current, not AC, so the AC needs to be stepped down to an appropriate voltage via a transformer (probably only a few volts), converted to DC via a rectifier and filter (to smooth out the ripple current). there are a constant driver in side the 120V AC led light bulb , this driver transfer the AC to DC, so the led could work with DC.
