    AC and DC are two types of electrical current that differ in the direction of electron flow. AC periodically changes direction while DC flows in only one direction. AC is commonly used for power transmission over long distances, while DC is used for electronic devices that require constant voltage or current. AC generators are simpler and cheaper to build than DC generators.
