What is the difference between AC and DC electricity?
Alternating Current (AC) is the type of electricity commonly used for household and commercial power supply. It alternates direction periodically. Direct Current (DC) flows in one direction and is commonly used in batteries and electronic devices. The difference lies in the flow of electrical charge: AC changes direction while DC flows steadily in one direction.
