Question

Why is Alternating Current (AC) Widely used as compared to Direct Current (DC) for industrial as well as domestic purposes ? Give any two reasons.

Answer 1

Solution:

AC is alternating current and DC is direct current.


Alternating current is widely used as compared to direct current for industrial use as well as domestic purposes because:


1. Alternating current (AC) reverses it direction periodically but direct current always flows in one direction.


2. Alternating current(DC) can be transmitted over long distances causing minimum loss of energy during transmission.

Answer 2

Hi friend,

Your answer:

Alternating Current (AC) Widely used as compared to Direct Current (DC) for industrial as well as domestic purposes because :-

i) AC can be more easily boosted to high voltage.

ii) AC is better for long-distance power transmission than DC.

Hope it helps!
