AC/DC Current

AC/DC current refers to two types of electric current used in household and electronic devices. AC (Alternating Current) changes direction periodically, allowing electricity to efficiently supply homes and industries over long distances; household outlets typically deliver AC. DC (Direct Current), on the other hand, flows in a single direction and powers devices like batteries, smartphones, and computers. Think of AC as a wave that moves back and forth, while DC is like a steady stream. Both are essential in different applications, with AC being more common for power distribution, and DC for portable and electronic devices.
