Differences Between AC and DC Currents

Now that you know what electricity is, we need to discuss the two types of electricity you may encounter: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). 

To do this, watch the video below. It explains the differences between AC and DC using simple circuits for each type. Later in this module, you will be asked to measure both types of electricity.
