What is alternating current (AC)?
February 14, 2025 396
Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current whose polarity reverses periodically and whose amplitude varies continuously over time. AC power is often used in businesses and homes because it is cheaper and more efficient to generate and transmit than direct current (DC) power. During transmission, a transformer can reduce power loss by increasing or decreasing the voltage of the AC line. Alternating current (AC) is a form of household electricity -...

What is the difference between a DC power supply and an AC power supply?
February 14, 2025 479
Alternating current is suitable for transmission and distribution of electricity over long distances through the grid system. Direct current is a one-way flow of charge and is more reliable than alternating current, but is not suitable for long-distance transmission. Most electronic devices use DC because their voltage is constant, such as devices powered by batteries. Some devices also use rectifiers to convert AC to DC. Power supplies usually have an internal...
