Any electrical (or electronic) circuit containing one or more AC voltage or current sources.

AC means Alternating Current, which describes an electrical current in which the direction of flow changes continuously.

Depending on the country, for ordinary household AC power services the rate at which the changes in direction take place - called the service frequency - happen at 50 or 60 cycles per second.

However alternating currents can run at any practical frequency, including, for example, radio waves and currents, which can run from very low frequencies of less than 100 cycles per second to ultra high frequencies which can run to many thousands of millions of cycles per second.
