Direct current such as the power from dry cells is characterized by a uniform direction of flow and amount (voltage) of electricity.

Ac means alternating current, which means that the polarity is continuously changing. It's what you'll find in the outlets. DC means direct current, which means that the polarity remains the same. You get it from batteries.

Answer 3

Alternating Current and Direct Current. Has to do with electricity.

Answer 4

AC represents Alternating Current and DC represents Direct Current.

Answer 6

"Alternating Current" (as opposed to "Direct Current")

Answer 7
