Alternating voltages are stepped up or down by means of:
- Capacitors
- Resistances
- Transformers
- Rectifiers
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. Transformers
1. Direct voltages cannot be changed this simply.
2. Alternating voltages can, which is why ac is used for supply.
3. The device that does it is the transformer.
4. So the answer is transformers.
