DIFFERENCE B/W VOLTAGE
AND CURRENT:
Voltage is a cause and current is the effect.
Current will flow between two points if there is a
potential difference between them. If both points
are at the same potential then current will not
flow across these points.
SINUSOIDAL CURRENT
The current is of two types i.e AC and DC.
The current which changes its direction after every
half cycle is known as Alternating current.
But the current which does not change is direction
is known as Direct current.
SINUSOIDAL CURRENT
The Alternating current is also known as Sinusoidal
current.
The current whose amplitude changes with respect
to time is known as Sinusoidal Current.
SINUSOIDAL VOLTAGE
The Alternating Voltage is also known as Sinusoidal
Voltage.
The voltage which changes with respect to time is
known as Sinusoidal Voltage.
SOME BASIC TERMS USED
Amplitude (or peak value) : It is the maximum value,
positive or negative, of an alternating quantity.
Instantaneous Value : It is the value of the quantity at
any instant.
Time period (T) : It is the duration of one complete
cycle.
Frequency (f) : It is the number of cycles that occurs in
one second.

ADVANTAGES OF A.C
Most appliances, lights, and electronic equipment
are configured to operate on AC or "house current"
AC is efficient for long wire runs
