Electrons do not "flow" in AC unlike in DC, where they physically move from negative to the positive terminal of the EMF source.
Observe that by definition current is rate of flow of charge. In alternating current, the electrons just oscillate about their mean position.
Yet they constitute a current[alternating current here], because there is flow of charge through the cross section of the wire.
☆ an AC system with a given time period and in a DC system there is no change in direction.
☆ Electrons donot flow in a wire in the form of a wave. They just oscillate about its mean position and the wave natured graph shows the position of an electron at different instances of time.

how electricity is produced when electron is flowing..
Flow of electrons is called current. Due to voltage difference between the two ends of a conductor, electric field spreads. Due to that a force acts on electron. So it travels and moves.
They move in one direction. Then as voltage reverses they turn back. So they oscillate in simple harmonic motion
