Why there is a difference between AC and DC current?


Alternating current (AC) or Direct current (DC) are the two ways of the electric current flow.

The direction of the electrons flow is the main difference between AC and DC. This difference in AC and DC is because:-

1. In DC, the electrons flow steadily in a single direction, due to the steady magnetism.

2. In AC, electrons keep switching directions, going forward and then backwards, due to the rotating magnets.
