The standard frequency for electricity supply in many parts of the world, including Europe, is 50 Hz because it was chosen early on to ensure compatibility and standardization among electrical systems. This frequency was found to be suitable for most power generation and transmission needs while balancing costs and efficiency.

Will AC 220-240v 50hz battery charger work in America?

No, the U.S. electrical system is 60 hertz not 50 hertz. The only way you can use it is if the charger will operate at 50 & 60 hertz which is unlikely but possible. It will be listed on the charger if it will operate at a lower hertz.

How is the term hetz abbreviated Hz related to a waves frequency?

It's "hertz", not "hetz". The number of hertz is the frequency. For example, if the current has a frequency of 50 hertz... well, that's the frequency. Hertz is equivalent to cycles/second, and it is sometimes written that way. So, 50 hertz could also be written as 50 cycles/second.


Will a battery charge on fifty hertz?

Sure if you are in a country that uses the 50 hertz cycle and you have a charger designed to run at 50 hertz. In the U.S. it will not work. ------------------------------------------------------------ A battery charges on DC, not AC. The battery charger may not work at the wrong frequency, however.
