  1. Varying Direct Current and Alternating current - Physics Forums

    Jul 23, 2015 · So, @William White, according to you, for varying direct current, the current can't be negative basically, but can be in alternating current? And to answer your question, it would be DC I …

  2. SI Notation for Direct Current and Voltage Direct Current - Correct ...

    Dec 2, 2010 · The correct SI notation for Direct Current (DC) is represented as "I" for current and "U" for Voltage Direct Current (VDC). While "DC" and "VDC" are widely accepted in everyday language, the …

  3. Alternating Current vs Direct Current - Physics Forums

    Jun 14, 2006 · Can someone explain breifly or in detail :biggrin: the differnece between ac and dc. Maybe advantages and disadvantages. From what i have researched i know that ac the current flows …

  4. Understanding the Relationship Between Electric Current and Radio …

    Apr 19, 2006 · An alternating electric current can generate a radiowave of the same frequency, and vice versa: a radiowave hitting a conductor can generate an alternating current in the conductor.

  5. Alternating current and Direct current? - Physics Forums

    Jun 8, 2012 · I have this Question about toaster and electric kettle and I just want to know if they are working on alternating current or direct current. Does a Toaster works on alternating current or direct …

  6. Why DC is said to be more dangerous than AC? • Physics Forums

    Dec 28, 2011 · The discussion clarifies that direct current (DC) is considered more dangerous than alternating current (AC) due to its physiological effects on the human body. Specifically, 230V DC …

  7. Why Is Alternating Current Preferred for Long-Distance Power ...

    Sep 23, 2012 · Why is an alternating current used for long distance transmission of electrical power ? What about direct current ?

  8. Why does the IEEE recommend using ac and dc instead of AC and DC?

    Feb 12, 2014 · I was a little surprised to find out that the IEEE recommends using "ac" and "dc" for alternating/direct current rather than "AC" and "DC." (Google...
