| 3. This type of current is not used much for torches etc. | This type of current is used in electrical household appliances such as electric heater, refrigerator, electric iron, etc. | |
| 4 | Frequency of D.C. is zero. | Frequency of A.C. in India is 50 Hz i.e., its cycle changes in (1)/(50) second. |
| 5 | Produced by D.C. generator. | Produced by A.C. generator. |
