A.C means Alternating Current .. And D.C Means Direct Current .. you should know the Basics of Electronics else you would not get survive in future .. in A.C .. Current Travels in the Wave Form Type .. where as in the D.C .. Currents Travel in Direct Path .. A.C Current is generated by Transformer ... Turbines and way of other things .. but D.C Current is present around you in a single Cell .. in Battery ...
Most Famously Electronics Almost Based Upon D.C Circuits .

∙ 13y agoOne is designed for alternating current one for direct current.
Equipment that is designed for DC operation is very polarity sensitive.
AC equipment is less so though it must be correctly wired to ensure safety of the equipment when in use.
Generally DC contacts suffer more from "arcing" during the make and break cycle than do AC contacts.
Arcing causes burning of the contacts and premature failure.
DC contacts are manufactured generally from more durable materials than AC contacts are.

What is the difference while applying kcl to dc and ac circuits?
KCL is Common to both AC and DC. Only the waveform or AC and DC will differ
What is the difference when selecting a cable between AC and DC current?
AC. is alternating current and Dc is direct current. alternating equivalant to pulsating electricity while direct is a constant draw with little fluxuation.
What is the difference between elecrical and electronics?
in electronics we use DC current but in elctrical equipment we use AC current
What is difference between generator and oscillator?
A generator is used to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. An oscillator is used to convert dc to ac
Common parts of ac and dc generators?
There is not the big different between AC and DC generator and the common part of both of them areRotorStaterFrameMagnetic FieldBarringShaftWinding (Lap or Wave)Cable boxThe big different between both of them is the commutator and split rings which we use to convert DC to AC.
What is the difference between AC and DC choke?
There is no difference between AC AND DC chockes
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.
What is the difference between in ac and dc powwer cable?
There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.
What the difference between AC and DC?
AC rises with respect to time but DC is steady.
Difference between magneto and ac generator?
magneto is dc
What is main difference between ac power and dc power?
AC power is made by alternating current and DC does not change.
What is the difference between ac ammeter and dc ammeter?
dc ammeter has three connecting pins while ac has four
What is the difference between current (DC) and alternating current (AC)?
ac comes directly from the power socket, and DC is battery source. Answer2: The frequency is the difference, AC has frequency f>0 and DC does not f=0.
What makes a dc bulb different from an ac bulb?
The voltage source that is applied to them is the difference between AC and DC light bulbs.
What is the difference between a voltage converter and a voltage inverter?
Converter is AC to DC. Inverter is DC to AC
What is the difference between ac Hall effect and dc Hall effect?
ac hall effect always rises and dc is always in steady state.................
What is difference between magneto and AC generator?
a magneto puts out dc electricity
