What is AC current?
Answers (1)
Alternating current (AC) is an electric current whose magnitude and direction change periodically with time.
-
In AC, electrons oscillate back and forth in the circuit rather than moving in only one direction.
-
It is represented as:
I = I0sin?(ωt) or I = I0cos?(ωt)where:
-
I0? = maximum or peak current
-
ω = angular frequency (ω = 2 π f)
-
t = time
-
-
The rate of change is measured in frequency (f), in hertz (Hz). For example, in India, AC has a frequency of 50 Hz.
