(-sonby Lene'sam)WHAT IS ALTERNATING CURRENT (A.C.)?
‘Alternating current isthe current which constantly changes in amplitude, and
hich reverses direction at regular intervals
DDI
Because the changes are so regular, alternating voltage and current have a
umber of properties associated with any such waveform, These basic
properties include
Frequency; It's the number of complete cycles that occurred in one second.
“The frequency of the wave is commonly measured in cycles per second
(cycles/sec) and expressed in units of Hertz (Hz). It is represented in
‘mathematical equations by the letter F<
Time Period: It is the duration of time required for the quantity to
complete one cycle. And is denoted by T. This is reciprocal of
frequency.
‘Amplitude: Mathematically, the amplitude of a sine wave is the
value of that sine wave at its peak. This is the maximum value,
positive or negative, that it can attain.
