Its Alternate Current and Direct Current. I believe Angus Young got the idea for the band name when he say AC/DC on the bottom of his sisters sewing kit. Electric current can be direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). Direct current such as the power from dry cells is characterized by a uniform direction of flow and amount (voltage) of electricity.

Ac means alternating current, which means that the polarity is continuously changing. It's what you'll find in the outlets. DC means direct current, which means that the polarity remains the same. You get it from batteries.
