In AC if the direction of current keeps reversing every half cycle, how does it propogate through ..

Answer / Chandra Bahadur

The alternating current (AC) propagation through transmission lines involves a phenomenon known as 'phase shift'. Since the direction of current reverses every half cycle, the voltage waveform leads the current waveform by 90 degrees. This is due to inductive reactance in the circuit. The phase angle between voltage and current can cause power loss in the form of heat due to impedance in the line.
