what is the difference in A.C. D.C.

Question

Accepted Answer

AC and DC are two types of electrical current. AC stands for alternating current and DC stands for direct current.

AC is the type of current commonly used in homes and businesses, while DC is used in batteries and electronic devices.
AC current periodically changes direction, while DC current flows in one direction.
AC current can be easily converted to different voltages using transformers, while DC current requires a power supply or converter to change voltage.
AC current is generally considered safer for humans, as it causes less harm in case of electric shock compared to DC current.
Examples of AC devices include refrigerators, air conditioners, and televisions, while examples of DC devices include smartphones, laptops, and flashlights.

Accepted Answer

Electric current flows in two ways as an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).
Alternating Current	
In AC the flow of current changes its direction forward and backward periodically.	
Direct Current
It flows in a single direction steadily.
