AC DC power supply unit positive and negative terminals

Home / AC DC power supply unit positive and negative terminals

– DC power supply: Positive/negative terminals and Ground (GND) terminal – AC power supply: L/N terminals and GND terminal. Using a multimeter I found that there is continuity between the output terminals (2 positives and 2 negatives) of my power supply. Chances are you have one at home already, and can use it for physical computing projects. This results in a different type of current in a wire submitted to a DC voltage than it experiences if an AC voltage is applied to.

AC/DC

The positive terminal is a fixed electrical potential higher than the one marked negative. Electrical cells or batteries supply DC power - power packs from mains
