AC and DC power supplies
AC and DC power supplies displayed on the screen of an oscilloscope (centre). Direct current (DC, the straight line) is produced by the equipment at left, while alternating current (AC, waveform) is produced by the equipment at right. Both currents are powering lamps at lower centre. The grey box (left) is a smoothing unit that is needed to form smooth DC from AC. Many electrical devices need to have the mains AC power supply altered in this way to run safely. The DC supply is seen to be about 0.7 times the peak AC value. This is known as the RMS (root mean square) value

Bring the intricacies of electrical power to life with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of AC and DC power supplies. This striking visual, sourced from Science Photo Library, showcases the comparison of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) waves on an oscilloscope screen. Ideal for educational environments, laboratories, or offices, these high-quality poster prints add a touch of science and technology to any space. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of electricity and its transformation between AC and DC power supplies.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases AC and DC power supplies displayed on the screen of an oscilloscope at the center. On the left side, we can observe direct current (DC) being produced by the equipment, while on the right side, alternating current (AC) is generated. Both currents are effectively powering lamps positioned at the lower center of the image. To convert AC to smooth DC, a grey box known as a smoothing unit is utilized and seen on the left-hand side. The significance of this transformation lies in its ability to ensure safe operation for numerous electrical devices that rely on modified mains AC power supply. The DC supply depicted here measures approximately 0.7 times the peak AC value, which corresponds to its root mean square (RMS) value. This visually striking photograph not only captures a moment in a school laboratory but also symbolizes education and technological advancements in physics and electrical circuits. It serves as a powerful educational tool for students learning about electricity and energy conversion processes. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this image beautifully encapsulates both practical experimentation and theoretical concepts within one frame – making it an ideal addition to any classroom or educational setting focused on science and technology studies.
