. When electric lights are operated on low-frequency ac (say,5 Hz), they flicker noticeably. Why?
Someone argues that a resistor R=100 Ω run by 5 V DC heats up faster than the same resistor run by 5 Vp AC (the 5 Vp are measured as the maximum voltage of the sine wave). Is this person right or wrong? Explain.
Why do we use AC voltages in our households over DC?
