AC to DC converter.

AC to DC converter is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The reverse operation is performed by the inverter. The process is known as rectification since it "straightens" the direction of the current. Alternating Current can't be stored in batteries because AC changes its polarity periodically and DC power can be stored so we need to convert AC to DC. To convert the electrical energy into DC, we need to store it. AC can be transported over long distances because of its frequencies. The batteries convert the chemical energy to electrical energy. ... At that same time, we cannot store Alternating Current in batteries because AC changes its polarity periodically which means the conventional AC supply has up to 50Hz or 60Hz (changes polarity 50 to 60 times in a second). Applications:-DC is used mostly in every electric and electronic appliance eg;- Vaccum cleaners, washing machines, mobile phones, laptops, etc it is also used in telecommunication and in various manufacturing units.
