Answer 2

Alternate Current

# An electric current that reverses its direction many times a second at regular intervals, typically used in power supplies.

# Alternating current is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current which flows only in one direction.

#Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current (DC) which flows only in one direction. Alternating current is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences, and it is the form of electrical energy that consumers typically use when they plug kitchen appliances, televisions, fans and electric lamps into a wall socket. A common source of DC power is a battery cell in a flashlight. The abbreviations AC and DC are often used to mean simply alternating and direct, as when they modify current or voltage.
