How does a device convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC)?

A device called an inverter is used to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The inverter switches the direction of the current flow at a rapid rate, creating an alternating current output from the direct current input.


What is a device used to change voltage of an alternating current?

A transformer is a device used to change the voltage of an alternating current. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction to increase (step-up) or decrease (step-down) the voltage level as needed. Transformers are commonly used in electrical power distribution systems to transmit electricity efficiently over long distances.


What is a device or material that permits current to flow through it easily?

A conductor is a device or material that allows current to flow through it easily due to its high conductivity properties. This is typically metals like copper, silver, and gold which have a large number of free electrons that can move through the material.


What is a DC charge?

DC = direct current, it is a steady charge that keeps going the same direction. AC = Alternating current, it is a charge that changes direction very quickly. The positive and negative keep switching.


What is a device that changes energy from the sun into electrical energy?

A solar panel is a device that converts energy from the sun into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. The panels contain photovoltaic cells that when exposed to sunlight generate direct current (DC) electricity, which can then be converted into alternating current (AC) electricity for use in homes or businesses.

Can alternative current be turned into direct current?

By "alternative" I presume you mean "alternating". Yes it can by using a device called a rectifier then some sort of bypass circuit to conduct the alternating current to ground, usually just a capacitor.
