AC power for houses comes from generators. The most common type of generator has a boiler running on coal or oil that heats water converting it into steam that goes to a turbine that provides energy via a rotating shaft to the generator. Wires carry the electrical energy to the customers.

Is ac or dc power cheaper to produce?

It depends on the specific context and application. Generally, AC power is cheaper to produce and distribute over long distances because it can be easily transformed using transformers. However, for certain applications like battery charging or some types of electronic devices, DC power may be more cost-effective due to fewer conversion losses.


Why do power plants produce AC power naturally?

AC (alternating current) is the primary form of electricity because it can be generated at very high voltages and sent across many, many miles of carrying lines.
