Solution

An alternating current (AC) is a current whose direction continuously reverses periodically.
A direct current (DC) is a current which flows in a fixed direction and has a constant magnitude.
AC current is preferred over DC current as it is more convenient and easier to transmit the current from power plants to our homes.
Hence, alternating currents are used in homes.
