Question

What is meant by term frequency of an alternating current what is the value in india why is an alternating current considered to be advantages over direct current for long range transmission of electric energy?

Answer 1

Frequency means the number of times the signal (current/voltage) reaches its maximum or minimum in one second. AC is an advantage for transmission over long distances as the power losses due to heat dissipation in the wires, is less for AC than DC. ... It is easier to generate AC than DC.
