DC: DC is an abbreviation for direct current. Electrons flow continuously in a single direction, much like a river or stream. The power supply in the United Kingdom is alternating current (AC) and operates at 230 volts. We use alternating current because it is easier to convert and reduces losses when travelling long distances.
