AC VS DC

BY: JONATHON ENGLISH

AC
CURRENT

IS THE FLOW OF CHARGE THAT CHANGES

DIRECTION PERIODICALLY. AC IS USED TO DELIVER
POWER TO BUILDINGS.

DC
CURRENT

IS THE FLOWN OF CHARGE THAT PROVIDES A

CONSTANT VOLTAGE OR CURRENT.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AC
AND DC CURRENTS

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AC AND DC CURRENTS

ARE THAT AN AC CURRENT CHANGES DIRECTION
WHILE A DC CURRENT GOES ONLY ONE WAY.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AC AND

DC CURRENT WAVES
AC currents go below the x-axis,
while DC currents do not.

PROS AND CONS OF AC AND

DC ELECTRICITY
THE PROS AND CONS OF AC CURRENTS IS THAT IT CAN GO FURTHER
DISTANCES THAN DC CURRENTS BUT AT THE COST OF HIGH VOLTAGE
AND DANGERS FROM IT. THE PROS AND CONS OF DC CURRENTS ARE
THAT IT ISNT AS DANGEROUS AS AC CURRENT BUT IT CAN NOT GO AS
FAR AS AC CURRENT
