AC stands Alternating Current, a type of electricity that changes constantly from one polarity to another(like what you get from the wall outlets). DC stands for Direct Current, a type of electricity that maintains its polarity all the time(like what you get from a battery). AN AC/DC converter is something that turns outlet-type electricity into battery type electricity.
RECTIFIER s can convert ac to dc.the different types of rectifiers are halfwave,full wave,bridge rectifier.by connecting capactor to all of the above mentioned ckts efficiency can be enhanced.

Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?
A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.
What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?
A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.
Why transformer action can take place in DC circuit?
Not clear what your question is. First of all, circuits are not classified as DC and AC. Circuits are what they are, and you can apply either AC or DC to any circuit. However, considering a circuit that was designed only for use with DC applied. Still your question is unclear. What is transformer action? "Transformer Action" happens in a transformer.
Can booster transformer be used in dc distribution system?
No. Transformers work in AC systems, not in DC systems.
How does auto transformer work with DC supply?
Transformers don't work with DC supplies - they only work on AC.
