The current that is transferred through cables over long distances is AC. The main reason for this is because it is easier to handle. For example, it is easy to convert an AC current to a higher or a lower voltage with Transformers. Transformers don't work for DC.

What device converts dc current to ac current?
A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.
What is the sign for ac and DC current?
AC means alternating current DC means direct current there is no polarity reversal
What is the difference between ac and dc grounding?
The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.
Which is the device that converts AC to DC?
A Rectifier converts Alternating current into Direct current
Is ac or DC current easier to interrupt?
dc

What are the two kinds electricity?
Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

What is DC-AC?
AC/DC is a rock band. Their name refers to "alternating current direct current.
Did ceiling fan operate on dc or ac current?
ac current
What IS AC power and DC power?
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
What IS AC DC?
AnswerThere is a hard rock band called AC/DC .In electrical jargon, AC is short for alternating current and DC is short for Direct current.
How can identify AC and DC?
DC is direct current, and is characterized by its steady flow of current. AC is alternating current. It is characterized by increases and decreases in the current.
Is ac or DC current easier to interrupt?
dc
