What is Alternating Current? 🔛 (Definition, Characteristics, and Examples) 🔌
Definition of alternating current. In the ALTERNATING CURRENT video, the answer to the question: What is alternating current? is given. We know that there are two types of current: direct current and alternating current (alternating electric current).
0:10 In this tutorial, we will focus on alternating current.
0:24 Concept of alternating current: ALTERNATING CURRENT is a type of electric current characterized by cyclical variation in magnitude and direction.
Definition of alternating current
1:04 Alternating current is a current in which the intensity changes direction periodically in a conductor over time, as a result of the periodic change in polarity of the voltage applied to the ends of said conductor.
2:08 Advantages of alternating current and characteristics of alternating current.
In the case of direct current, voltage elevation is achieved by connecting dynamos in series, which is not very practical. In contrast, alternating current uses a device: the transformer, which allows the voltage to be raised efficiently (examples of alternating current).
3:34 History of alternating current (alternating and direct current).
Alternating current was discovered by Nikola Tesla in 1882.
The first alternating current emission occurred in 1891 in Colorado, United States, thus beginning the so-called War of the Currents, which was waged between alternating current and direct current. Between Tesla himself and Edison. 5:00 To understand the difference between alternating and direct current, I recommend the video:
