What is the Difference in AC vs DC Current? – ATM Quick Take | DigiKey

Direct current (DC) was once proposed to power all our electrical needs until it was understood that alternating current (A/C), is more efficient for transmitting power over great distances while DC works best for low voltage, low power applications over short distances using smaller wires. Knowing the basic differences helps in understanding the practicality of each power option.
