Question

What is the advantages of AC current over DC current ?

Answer 1

Advantages of AC over DC:

1. Ac is more economical than DC.

2. Alternating voltages can be stepped up or stepped down as per the requirement using a transformer.

3. Regulation of Ac is easier without much wastage of electrical energy with the help of a choke coil.

4. Alternating voltages can be transmitted over long distances at small loss of power.

5. AC can be converted into DC with the help of rectifiers.
