Understanding the Differences: Direct Current (DC) vs. Alternating Current (AC).

💡 The video explains the differences between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).

🔌 In direct current, the flow of electrons remains constant in direction and magnitude.

⚡ Alternating current changes the direction and magnitude of the electron flow.

⚡ In direct current (DC), the flow of electrons is unidirectional and constant in magnitude.

🔄 In alternating current (AC), the flow of electrons changes direction and magnitude due to the constant change in voltage polarity.

🔢 One important parameter in AC is frequency, which measures the number of cycles per second that an electron completes.

⚡️ The video explains the differences between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).

⚡️ In DC, the current flows in a straight line and does not change direction, while in AC, the current changes direction periodically.

⚡️ DC maintains a constant voltage, while AC voltage fluctuates over time.

⚡️ The video explains the differences between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).

🔋 DC is produced by sources like batteries, dynamos, and solar cells and can be stored as chemical energy.

🔌 AC is produced by alternators and cannot be stored, commonly used in desktop computers.

⚡️ The use of rectifiers allows us to obtain alternating current from direct current.

🔌 Direct current is used in low-voltage applications such as charging batteries in the automotive sector.

🏢 Alternating current is used in high-voltage applications for power generation, transmission, and distribution to homes, buildings, and businesses.

🔌 The differences between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) are explained, highlighting the advantages of AC.

⚡ The role of transformers in power transmission is discussed, emphasizing their ability to maintain constant power while reducing current intensity.

📐 The benefits of using AC in transmission lines are highlighted, including cost savings, decreased heat dissipation, and longer distance coverage.

⚡️ The popularization of motors led to their increased applications in homes.

💡 Motors running on alternating current (AC) are more efficient than motors running on direct current (DC).

🔌 There are two types of AC: monophase and three-phase.
