Is wave energy an AC or DC current?
mainly AC but can be DC if done correctly
Why signal generator is not used in half wave rectifier?
one is AC the other is DC
Where do you use a full wave rectifier?
Right: Example out of a transformer AC to DCAnother Answer:Anywhere there is AC and DC is required. A full wave rectifier is a circuit that produces a DC pulse using both halves of an AC sine wave - full wave rectifier.
What is sinusoid?
What is a sinusoidal wave? This is a wave that appears to have curves. AC current/voltage. If you see a wave on a ossiloscope of what our AC (Alternating current) mains voltage that will be the answer to the question. DC (direct current) does not appear to have the same qualitys
The rms value of the resultant current in a wire which carries a DC of 20A and a sinusoidal ac of peak value 20A is?
From your description, this sounds like it is a sine wave offset to 10A, so the peak is at 20A, and the min is at 0? For this case, you have 10A DC (RMS) wave and a 10A Peak - neutral AC wave; The RMS value of the AC wave is: 10/2*sqrt(2) = 3.54A. So the RMS amplitude of this wave is 13.54A.
What is AC plus DC?
An offset AC wave. It will be offset by the magnitude of the DC applied.
Is wave energy an AC or DC current?
mainly AC but can be DC if done correctly
Can transformer operate on triangular wave DC?
If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.
How do you change AC into DC and DC into AC?
In most circumstances a full wave diode bridge is used to convert AC into DC. Along with inductors and capacitors used as filters, the DC ripple is smoothed out to a very stable DC voltage. This is the method used in DC power supplies. To convert from DC to AC an inverter is used. Today most inverters use the modified sine wave method which brings the sine wave closer to a AC generated sine wave. Older inverters used an on - off switching procedure to generate a square sine wave. Modern electronics do not work well with square wave generation.
Is IC555 is an ac device or dc device?
it is DC powered, but can generate sawtooth or triangular wave AC if wired up properly. it cannot generate sine wave AC, although with an opamp wave shaping circuit the triangular AC waveform can be reshaped to a rough approximation of a sine wave.
What is the purpose of a full wave rectifior?
convert AC to DC
How diode convert pure ac to pure dc?
You can't convert ac to pure dc with diode only. The easiest way to convert ac to dc by with diode is by using rectification, it consist of at least 2 diodes (half wave rectifier) and (capacitor is to "smoother" the wave).
What are the main differences between AC and DC currents?
An AC waveform is a sine wave and varies from positive to negative with a frequency of 60 Hertz (Cycles per Second). DC is a constant voltage and does not vary like the sine wave.
What is the wavelength of DC current?
Unlike AC, which HAS waves, DC current is waveless- either on or off. No waves= no wave length.
What is the difference between rectifier and converter?
A rectifier converts AC voltage into DC voltage. A converter is something more general. It describes not only rectifiers, but also devices that can turn DC into AC or perform DC-to-DC or AC-to-AC conversion.
Why signal generator is not used in half wave rectifier?
one is AC the other is DC
Change Ac volts to dc volts?
Use a full wave bridge rectifier.
