    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

    Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows only in one direction.

  3. Alternating current | Definition & Facts | Britannica

    www.britannica.com/science/alternating-current

    Alternating current (AC), flow of electric charge that periodically reverses. It starts from zero, grows to a maximum, decreases to zero, reverses, reaches a maximum in the opposite direction, returns again to the original value, and repeats the cycle.

  4. Alternating Current: Definition, Properties, and Applications

    www.electrical4u.com/alternating-current

    What is Alternating Current? An alternating current (AC) is defined as an electric current that changes direction and magnitude periodically. Unlike direct current (DC), which flows in one direction, AC transmits power over long distances with less energy loss.

  5. What is Alternating Current (AC)? - All About Circuits

    Either as a voltage switching polarity or as a current switching direction back and forth, this “kind” of electricity is known as Alternating Current (AC): Direct vs alternating current.

  6. Alternating Current (AC): Definition, Examples, and Uses

    www.sciencefacts.net/alternating-current.html

    Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current that periodically reverses its direction of flow. Its polarity changes over time, and its magnitude fluctuates sinusoidally, typically following a waveform like a sine wave.

  7. Alternating current Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alternating...

    The meaning of ALTERNATING CURRENT is an electric current that reverses its direction at regularly recurring intervals —abbreviation AC.

  8. Alternating Current (AC) is a type of electrical current other than Direct Current (DC) in which the direction of the flow of electrons switches back and forth at regular intervals or cycles. In this article, we will learn about this in detail.
