1884 Nikola Tesla invented the electric alternator, an electric generator that produces alternating current (AC). Until this time electricity had been generated using direct current (DC) from batteries. AC electrical systems are better for sending electricity over long distances as DC can only travel 5 miles at best.
What else can I help you with?
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Electric current changes direction repeatedly is called?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
What is a constant current?
DC or Direct Current. The current is no alternating.
What are the uses of alternating current?
voltage can carry current a further distance.
The kind of electricity from the power plant is called?
There are only two kinds of electricity, direct current and alternating current. All power plants now produce alternating current

What is Alternating current is measured in?
Alternating Current is measured in Amperes.
Who developed the alternating-current system?
George Westinghouse developed the 1st AC electric system in 1886 & set up the Westinghouse Electric Company to manufacture the equipment.
Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Alternating current is produced by battery or generators?
A generator produces alternating current.

It is technically an alternating current generator.It is technically an alternating current generator.
What is current that keeps changing direction?
Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current that changes direction periodically. It is commonly used in household electricity systems because it allows for easy voltage transformation and long-distance transmission.
What is variable alternating current?
A current which changes its direction of flow again and again is known as alternating current.
