ac transmission are used because we easily step up the voltage as per our requirment and also breaker used for ac break the ac current easily bcs of nature of zero current at every cycle

but for long distance transmission done by dc due to reducing the skin effect and also reduce the relative inductance of the line due to this the line losses are reduce and we transmit the more power.

What are the roles of a diode and a capacitor in an AC-DC converter?

An AC-DC converter you can operate a device on AC instead of batteries. ~bobbyjack~ : D


Why not you use ac instead of dc to electronic components?

AC is easier and cheaper to send from the generators to the consumers than DC is.


Where would DC be used instead of AC?

DC is used for extra-high voltage transmission systems, as there are less losses with DC than with AC, and no synchronising problems.


Can you use AC instead of DC for superposition theorem?

Yes, the theorem still applies for AC.


Will value of J be same if ac were used instead of dc?

The number of Joules (energy) is the same as dc provided the RMS values of the ac quantities are used.


Why does modern hybrids use ac synchronous motor instead of dc series motors?

Toyota uses AC motors, Honda uses DC motors. It varies with design goals.


Why cant you generate DC directlyinstead of generating AC and converting it to DC?

Yes, by using a dynamo (which produces d.c.) instead of an alternator.

Why we used ac volt in supply line instead of dc volt?

AC voltage is more sufficient than DC voltage. Moreover, an AC transformer can be developed but DC voltage will make it harder. Without a transformer, we cannot turn the high and low voltaged into each-other.


Is there any possibilty of ac and DC flows in conductor at a time and get DC and AC with two reference AC and DC?

A typical AC waveform is symmetrical about a zero crossing point. You can bias the AC with DC such that the AC waveform is symmetrical about the DC voltage.


What is the difference between ac and dc grounding?

The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.


What county is ac DC is from?

AC/DC are from Sydney, Australia.
