Alternating Current (Electric Power)

Electric current in which the direction of flow is reversed at frequent intervals: usually 100 or 120 times per second (50 or 60 cycles per second or 50//60 Hz).

Alternating Current (Energy)

(AC) Flow of electricity that constantly changes direction between positive and negative sides. Almost all power produced by electric utilities in the United States moves in current that shifts direction at a rate of 60 times per second.

Alternating Current (Solar Energy)

Electric current in which the direction of flow is reversed at frequent intervals--usually 100 or 120 times per second (50 or 60 cycles per second or 50//60 Hz).

Alternating Current (Wind Energy)

Electricity that changes direction periodically. The period is measured in Cycles per Second (Hertz, Hz).

Alternating Current (Wire)

An electric current that continually reverses its direction giving a definite plus and minus wave form at fixed intervals.
