what is the difference between ac and dc?which one is more
efficient?and what r their advantages

Answer Posted / prabhu.m

ac is in alternating in nature but dc is straight line,ac
is more efficient compare to dc bcz if any form of energy
will converted into electrical energy the nature of
electrical energy in alternating form only(usins generators)
then only we can convert ac into dc so looses are more in
dc compare to ac Advantages of ac :economical,easily
avilable.,most of the applications depends olnly ac
