(AC) electricity is the kind of electricity that powers our homes and businesses. It is made up of two parts: the voltage and the current. The voltage makes the electric current flow, and it pushes electrons through a conductor, like a wire. The current is what powers our devices by moving electrons through them.
Alternating Current (AC) electricity has advantages over Direct Current (DC) electricity. For one thing, it can be generated more efficiently than DC power. As a result, AC generators are less expensive to build than DC generators and are also more efficient in terms of how much energy they produce per unit of fuel burned. In addition, AC power can be transmitted over long distances more efficiently than DC power because it doesn’t lose as much energy to resistance.
