Some devices operate on AC and others on DC. Generally, anything that uses mains electricity (120V US, 240V UK) is using AC electricity and things that use batteries or are rechargable like cell phones, ipods, personal CD, use DC electricity.
Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.
No, an AC dimmer switch is designed to work with AC-powered devices, not DC. DC fans require a different type of dimmer switch specifically rated for DC power. Using an AC dimmer switch on a DC fan can potentially damage the fan or the switch itself.
Batteries can provide both AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) power, depending on the type of device they are connected to. However, most batteries themselves supply DC power. Devices that require AC power typically use an inverter to convert the battery's DC power into AC power.
No, it is not recommended to use an AC fuse for DC applications. AC fuses are designed to handle the characteristics of an alternating current flow, whereas DC fuses are designed specifically to handle the unique challenges posed by direct current. Using an AC fuse for DC applications can lead to safety hazards and may not provide the necessary protection for the circuit.
No, a 48-volt DC power supply cannot directly power a 100-watt AC bulb. AC bulbs are designed to operate on alternating current, typically at standard voltages like 120V or 240V, and require an AC waveform. To use a 48-volt DC supply, you would need a compatible DC bulb or a DC-AC inverter to convert the DC to AC at the required voltage and frequency.
All the cell phones are working in DC only
by the use of inverter we can convert ac to dc.
cell phones, laptops, desktops, anything that uses a battery. most power supplies convert AC to DC at a regulated voltage and current.
240v ac
Radios use DC power supplies to operate. If a radio is powered from a mains AC supply, a power supply circuit will convert the AC supply to DC. Therefore, a radio may have both a DC and an AC power input but ultimately, the internal circuitry will always use DC.
the car use dc current dear
The major advantages of using a DC to AC converter are that it can reduce electrical consumption. Similarly, these converters can charge many important items, such as phones and laptops.
no the dc unit will be damaged . but , if you have no other options left then you have to use a rectifier to convert the ac into dc .
AC or DC? AC - use a transformer, DC - forget it - not simple or cheap.

I would assume that you mean what devices do you use to convert ac current to dc current?The answer is Diodes.seediode-bridge
Because some appliances work with ac current and some with dc current.
