DC cannot travel very far until it begin to lose energy,but AC can be made high or low by "Transformers".DC can also be transformed but it is a bit difficult than transforminf AC.AC transmission loses less energy because as current altenates the loss is reduced i.e when voltage is at +peak more loss and at -ve peak loss is less.in this way the loss is less in AC transmission.

Why is AC current considered better than DC current in terms of electrical power distribution and transmission?

AC current is considered better than DC current for electrical power distribution and transmission because it can be easily converted to different voltage levels using transformers, allowing for efficient long-distance transmission. Additionally, AC current is able to travel over long distances with minimal power loss, making it more practical for widespread distribution of electricity.


Is DC or AC current faster?

AC current is not necessarily faster than DC current. The speed of current flow depends on the specific characteristics of the circuit and the components involved, rather than the type of current being used.


Advantages of Ac to DC converter?

some things requre a dc (direct current) rather than an ac (alternating current)


Why ac current is more dangerous than dc?

no actually dc current is more dangerous than ac because dc is a direct current and has no current zero condition ,which is very dangerous and do not leave us if we get shock while ac current leave us when we get shock


Why is an AC current system used in a domestic electrical supply?

Alternating current (AC) is easier to transmit over long distances than is direct current (DC).


Can you use a serpentine belt for a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo without AC for one with AC?

No, the one for a vehicle "with AC" is longer because of the extra pulley (compressor) the belt has to travel around.


Why ac prepared DC current?

because the transmission cost of ac supply is lesser than dc. thats why ac is prefered


Is home elect ac currant?

DC current is not used in home wiring. It may be used to power a door bell, alarm system, under counter lights, etc, that uses a transformer powered by AC that converts the power to DC. Other than that homes are wired for AC current only.


What is strong the DC or the ac?

DC, or direct current, is stronger than AC, or alternating current. The reason for this is because DC current is smooth and unvariable as opposed to AC which varies from zero to whatever the maximum is, and then goes back to zero once again.


Why electronics device used dc current only?

DC direct current is be coming more popular than AC alternating current AC is not really suitable for some devices maybe your device is needing low current


Does a fan run on a dc current or ac current?

AC


What does not limit current flow in a circuit - capacitance - high conductor resistance or longer conductor?

Of the three choices, capacitance does not limit current flow in an AC circuit.
