Question

Why is ac preferred over dc for transmission and distribution of electricity?

Answer 1

It is easy to maintain and change the voltage of AC electricity for transmission and distribution. Plant cost for AC transmission (circuit breakers, transformers etc.) is much lower than the equivalent DC transmission. From power stations, AC is produced so it is better to use AC than DC instead of converting it.
