What is the meaning of voltages?

D.C. stands for direct current. A.C. is alternating current.


How does the frequency of a changing magnetic field compare with the frequency of the alternating voltage that is induced?

A changing magnetic field generates an electric field and alternating currents are accompanied (or caused) by alternating voltages.


Electric current from a generating plant is?

Electric current from a generating plant is a alternating current transmitted at high voltages, but usually used at low voltages.


Is a device that changes the voltage of an alternating current with little loss of energy?

The device you are referring to is called a transformer. Not only can a transformer increase voltage, it can decrease voltage as well. These are known as a step up transformer for increasing voltages and step down for decreasing voltages.

What two voltages do you have in your home?

I'm not sure they're "voltages" but if you're talking about the circuits, then the two types are series and paralllel.


When cells are connected in a series?

the cell will add all of the voltages to a lump sum.


What is the main advantage of using alternating current in the power grid?

Low loss transmission of power at high voltages for long distances then the ability to transform down to lower voltages near the point of usage, i.e. substations and pole transformers near residences.


Why is alternating current low voltage?

Alternating current is not necessairly low voltage, on the controrary AC is more oftenly used for when high voltage is needed. Most power distribution systems (extremely high voltages) use AC because AC is easier to transform to high voltages (using the aptly named transformer). High voltage is needed for power distribution to decreases losses due to transmission.


Why are batteries sometimes joined in series?

Batteries are connected in series to add their voltages together. For example, two car batteries in series will give twenty four volts.


Why alternating current is use for electrical system?

The transmission of electrical energy requires very high voltages (for a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the load current). To increase/reduce these voltages, you need transformers. Transformers are AC machines; they do not work with DC.


How do you add voltages?

A: pay attention to current flow and assign +/-using algebraic mathematics
