Distinguish between alternating current and direct current. Explain why alternating current is preferred over direct current for transmission over long distances. |

Answer» Alternating Current: If the current changes direction after equal intervals of time, it is called alternating current. The positive and negative generator. polarities of AC are not fixed. Direct Current: If the current always flows in the same direction, it is called direct current. It can be obtained from a cell or a battery. The positive and negative polarities of DC are fixed for long distance transmission. AC is preferred as it caused minimum loss of energy during transmission. |
