The DC to AC Converter calculator computes the approximate voltage of Alternating Current (AC) from the voltage of Direct Current (DC).
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:
- (DC) Direct Current
Alternating Current (AC): The calculator returns the current in volts.
The Math / Science
The Alternating Current is the electric current in which the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction, whereas in direct current (DC), the flow of electric charge in only in one direction. AC is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences. The usual waveform of alternating current is a sine wave.
The formula to estimate alternating current voltage is:
`AC=(DC)/0.636`
where:
- AC = alternating current
- DC = direct current
