My initials are AC and my spouses are DC. Do you think electricity is in the air?

Need to know a need or application. AC voltage by definition is bipolar. What are you trying to do?

Actually no. I think there is about 5 volts DC. I guess the amount of power available depends on the computer, but it's probably very small. Maybe less that 500ma.

I heard that AC interferes with your nervous system causing your muscles to clench, making it impossible for you to let go of whatever is electrocuting you. DC doesn't, so you can let go as soon as you feel the shock.

I am afraid your battery is dead\n\nIf you can run it on AC power but on battery, it is dead.\n\notherwise check battery connectors

You probably have a problem with your wiring.  CALL AN ELECTRICIAN TO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT!  I know it sucks financially, what with it being the "chirstmas shopping season" and all, but what if you have a serious problem and it causes a fire...you could lose a LOT more than your things...people could get hurt.  Don't risk it!

For computer to do it, I would have been thinking a short in the PC's power supply, for two, no way. I am guessing your computers are connect via the same point of double adapter somewhere and have a suspision that there is a break in the Earth within the cables or adapter somewhere.\n\nThis means the chasis of your computer will not discharge and slowly creap up to high voltages over time, even though the PC's are not on.

did you pay your electricity bill?

Yes they do, if there were no power lines and no electical fields you would not have asked this question therefor the powerlines have not only effected you but in this case have also effected every member here who reads this and respondes to this its called chaos thoery.  And if this doesn't answer your question at least it will effect you *lol* :D

Sounds like static electricty, which tends to develop in windy dry conditions.  Check it out.

I'm in Oklahoma, too, so I feel your pain!  Always unplug your computer system from the wall during storms, do NOT rely on a surge protector.  Also, unplug the phone line from your DSL modem.  Electricity can flow through the phone lines and kill your modem, lost mine a month ago because I forgot to unplug it.  Be sure to remove the DSL line from the back of your computer as well.  Better safe than sorry, and better paranoid than regretful!

Is your computer plugged in?  Can you be a little less specific?

I agree 100% with you on this one. As a matter of fact, just the other night, the electricity went off. I woke up sweating because my A/C went off, went to get the phone in total darkness and remembered that IT NEEDS ELECTRICITY TO WORK, so I couldn't call the electric people, I would just have to wait it out. Looked around for a candle, which I don't buy for necessity and more just looks and the darn thing was burned down because I had used it the other day to make the house smell good...lol!\n\nStarted worrying about an hour later because I had to wake up from work and the alarm was not on (no electricity, remember) so I had to stay awake until it came back on, in the heat, with NO light and no phone!\n\nFor 2 hours I was lost and I didn't like it. But do you think I will be prepared for it next time, probably not :)\n\nGood Question!

There is an evident discrepancy between what you claim is actual use as to what the electric company has actually read.  Something is not right.  When you first moved in, there should have been an accurate starting point reading.  If not, then that is one issue.  Another, sometimes a person uses enormous amounts of electricity (growing pot for example).  Another possibility is that the meter itself is defective and so you could ask that it be checked out.  You would need to rule out that you have actually used an excessive amout each month.  There is a reason the company came up with its figure.  Find out exactly what the rest of the story is.

It depends where you're at and what type of electrical work you do? Industrial, commercial, residential, service calls, what?? Are you licensed? Bonded? Insured?

It means Alternate Current/Direct Current for forms of electrical input and output. AC/DC also is slang for bi-sexual orientation in people, having the desire and capacity to go either way with sexual partners.
