AC Electricity

AC (alternating current) electricity is the type of electrical power delivered to homes and businesses. Unlike direct current (DC), which flows in one constant direction, AC periodically reverses direction at a set frequency (usually 60 Hz in North America). This allows efficient transmission over long distances and easy voltage transformation. AC powers most household appliances and electronic devices, enabling them to operate effectively. Its ability to change voltage easily makes it the standard form of electricity supplied from power grids, ensuring reliable, flexible, and cost-effective energy delivery for everyday use.
