What is the pulsating DC frequency?

When AC full wave is rectified into DC by using bridge rectifier .The DC do not actually behave like an ordinary DC and the DC has a constant value .In fact, it is in pulsating form.This is known as Pulsating DC.


Do transformers work on DC supply?

No, unless you have a pulsating DC


Why use capacitor in circuit?

To smooth the output of the pulsating DC.


What is the difference when selecting a cable between AC and DC current?

AC. is alternating current and Dc is direct current. alternating equivalant to pulsating electricity while direct is a constant draw with little fluxuation.


What component of a motor changes induced AC voltage into a pulsating DC?

A rectifier is used to convert the induced AC voltage into pulsating DC in a motor. This component allows current to flow in only one direction, resulting in a unidirectional flow of electricity.


Why you use filters in your circuit?

we generally use filters to smooth the sharp curves of DC component we get when we rectify AC components the pulsating Dc is not desirable to a no. of devices. These filters are used to make the pulsating DC to a stable one . To be more clear a pulsating DC is viewed as a sum of DC component and AC component these filters actually block the AC components and retain the DC component . so, mainly capacitors and inductors are used to obstruct or pass the dc components respectively

What is transistor series regulator?

voltage regulator is a component to convert pulsating DC into constant DC.


What device converts dc current to ac current?

A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.


Do transformer works on pulsating dc?

If the input is pulsating DC, then the output will be pulsating DC. It will not be shaped the same, but it will be close, depending on the frequency and rise and fall time in comparison with the inductive reactance of the transformer.
