Generation

# AC versus DC **AC (Alternating Current)** periodically reverses direction, typically in a sine wave pattern, while **DC (Direct Current)** flows constantly in one direction with fixed polarity. This matters because AC is far more efficient for long-distance power transmission (transformers can easily step voltage up/down, reducing energy loss), which is why your wall outlets provide AC. However, most electronic devices internally require DC to operate, which is why chargers and power adapters convert AC to DC.
