AC vs DC Debate

The AC vs. DC debate centers on two types of electrical current: Alternating Current (AC) flows back and forth, allowing efficient transmission over long distances and easy voltage adjustments. Direct Current (DC) flows steadily in one direction, making it ideal for electronics and batteries but less efficient for power distribution. Historically, AC became the standard for electricity grids due to its efficiency in transmission, while DC is favored in devices like smartphones and solar panels. The debate highlights the strengths of each—AC's suitability for infrastructure and DC's compatibility with modern electronics.
