Will using a transformer to convert 230V to 12V DC consume more energy than using a few capacitors and resistors without a transformer?

no, the transformer is much more efficient

HOWEVER- a transformer only changes the voltage of AC current- it does not change it to DC. You will still need diodes or rectifiers. You can also use a motor/generator- a 230v AC motor turns a 12 v DC generator.

How do you convert capacitors to resistors?
Capacitors are completely different than resistors and there can be no converting between them, whatever that means.
Compared to the Zebra S4M, is the Zebra LP2824 of a better quality and price value?
An AC powered unregulated power supply usually uses a transformer to convert the voltage from the wall outlet (mains) to a different, nowadays usually lower, voltage. If it is used to produce DC, a rectifier is used to convert alternating voltage to a pulsating direct voltage, followed by a filter, comprising one or more capacitors, resistors, and sometimes inductors, to filter out (smooth) most of the pulsation.
What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?
A transformer cannot convert AC into DC.
What formula would be used to convert at current transformer rating at 60Hz to 25Hz?
I don't understand your question. Are you asking how to convert from 60hz to 25hz using a transformer? That cannot be done. Frequency in = frequency out.
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 resistors are needed to convert 4.5volts to 12volts?
can't be done using just resistors
How do you convert 120 VAC to 120 VDC?
Of course you can! A transformer can change the voltage from 120 to 36. A rectifier can turn AC into DC. If you need constant voltage, capacitors to regulate flow can be added.
How can you 120 volts AC to 5 volts DC?
You can convert 120 volts AC to 5 volts DC using a transformer to lower the voltage from 120V AC to a lower AC voltage, then rectifying the AC voltage to convert it to DC, and finally using a voltage regulator to ensure a stable output of 5 volts DC. This can be done using a step-down transformer, a rectifier circuit, and a voltage regulator.
Which transformer convert hvac to hvdc?
Decepticon
Can you use a transformer to convert modified sine wave to pure sine wave?
we cannot use transformer because transformer cannot change frequency . . .
How a rectifier transformer deffer from a power transformer?
rectifier transformer converts acinto dc.but,power transformer convert step up or step down ac energy without changing frequency
What type of electrical equipment cannot convert AC into DC?

How do you convert 7620 volts to 240 volts?
To convert 7620 volts to 240 volts, you would need to use a transformer. The transformer would step-down the voltage from 7620 volts to 240 volts. The ratio of the turns on the transformer primary and secondary windings determines the voltage transformation.
How is 11kv convert to 230v?
The higher voltage it transformed to a lower voltage by the use of a step down transformer.
