  • Distinguish Between Dc And Ac Current
    By: Sabbik | - Electricity is nothing but electrons moving along a conductor, like a wire that has been harnessed for energy. The difference between AC and DC has to do with the direction in which the electrons flow. In DC, electrons flow steadily in a single direction. In AC, electrons keep switching directions, sometimes going forwards and then going backwards. Scientists found that electrical and magnetic fields are related. DC power was generated from the works of Thomas Edison. Nikola Tesla preferred AC b ...
