AC (Music Technology)

Acronym for Alternating Current, which is electrical current where electrical charge will travel in one direction, then change into moving in the opposite direction. When looked at through an oscilloscope, it's waveform is generally of a sinusoidal, square or sawtooth shape. Almost all domestic electricity found in homes is AC, with a frequency of 60 Hertz, Although virtually all electronic devices require DC power (batteries are DC) this is rectified through the use of transformers and rectifiers in the devices power supply. The reason why AC has been chosen as the standard for mains electricity when DC may be more suitable is due to it's abilty to be tranferred over great distances. See also DC and Rectifier.
