State an advantage of AC over DC.
Advantages of alternating current:
It is economical current and can be easily produced. It is suitable for long distances transmission. No component variation is done in sinusoidal types.
Disadvantages of alternating current:
It is very dangerous. It cannot be useful for electroplating. It is not suitable for charging the batteries from an AC source directly.
Advantage of AC over DC:
(1) AC can be easily generated, and they are cheaper than DC.
(2) AC is easy, robust, and more suitable at large distances than DC.
(3) The power transmission is easier in AC than DC as energy or power loss is very small in AC compared to DC.
(4) AC is simple, low maintenance, and useful as compared to DC. AC can be easily transformed into DC types.
Thus, the advantage of AC over DC is described above.
