MCQ
Alternating current is one which changes in its:
- Adirection
- Bmagnitude
- Cmagnitude and direction both
- Dnone
✓
Answer
- magnitude and direction both
Explanation:
An alternating current (AC) is an electric current whose magnitude and direction vary, unlike direct current, whose direction remains constant.
The usual waveform of an AC power circuit is a sine wave, because this leads to the most efficient transmission of energy. The sine wave oscillates periodically between positive and negative direction.
