Is lighting AC or DC?

Mostly DC, but there is high frequency AC too.


Would ac or dc be better in lighting circuits in parallel?

Depends on the application. Lights in your house are in parallel with AC and lights in your car are in parallel with DC.


Would you expect to find dc or ac in the filament of a light bulb in your home. In the headlight of an automobile?

In the filament of a light bulb in your home, you would typically find AC current since most household electricity is AC. In the headlight of an automobile, you would expect to find DC current, as cars typically use batteries that provide DC power for lighting systems.


Why home inverter store dc but run appliances on ac?

bcoz it is costly to develop ac...and dc can be store nor ac


Do home appliances work on ac or dc?

Some home appliances, specifically, resistive loads such as toasters, irons, and the resistive portions of ranges, will work on AC or DC. Motors, such as timers, blowers in dryers, or rotary sources in washers, require AC. In general, home power is AC, so home appliances should be assumed to be AC, not DC, unless you have a special case home, such as a solar powered home, running on DC.


Is DC or AC used to light a light bulb in the home?

AC...


What is the output of the solar panel installed for the homes is it ac or dc?

It is dc but a small attached converter can make it ac for home use


What is a DC AC inverter used for?

A DC/AC power inverter is used to convert DC, the power that comes from a car's battery, into AC, the kind of power that is supplied to a home and used to power larger electronics.


Why is DC is not use in home?

because in dc current is direct current and it continously varies. so it may be possible that some instrument may be damaged. so to avoid this first we have to convert dc to ac. Actually in our home dc is provided.suppose you want to charge your mobile than you have to convert first dc current to ac current.AnswerAll homes are supplied with AC voltage. The reason for this is that the magnitude of an AC voltage is easily changed using a transformer, and it is easily changed into DC using a rectifier. Changing the voltage level of DC is far more complicated, as is changing it to AC.


How can i use a TV at home that only has a plug for DC use?

Yes, you can. There are numerous companies that make AC/DC power adapters. Simply type in " (TV Model and or brand) AC/DC adapter."


Could you run your home on car battery?

No, the battery is DC voltage and your home runs on AC.


How dc voltage changes into ac voltage?

yes it is possible.we can convert dc into ac using inverter.this inverter is diff than our home inverter or using commutator.
