Question
What is an alternating current (AC)?
✓
Answer
A current that changes in magnitude and direction after equal intervals of time is called an alternating current (AC) (Fig. 4.27).
Electric current changes sinusoidally with time. Electric current and potential difference are shown by the symbol ~.
[Note: An alternating current is obtained with an AC generator.]
