AC and DC current

Advantages of Alternating Current and Direct Current
Advantages of Direct Current
1. In DC system the frequency is zero hence there are no variations and even connection synchronization is also not necessary.
2. In DC there are no issues of maintaining the stability and security of the system it means the transmission of power is easy.
3. In DC system it has lower line resistance and hence it has less loss.
4. It never induces reactance in the line this results in translation of higher power capability and capacity.
Disadvantages of Direct Current
1. Power is lost during the transmission of electric charge through wire due to resistance of the wire.
2. It is less reliable and available in case of HDVC higher voltage direct current.
3. It is possible to convert the DC into AC but it is too complex and costly.
Use of AC and DC
AC and DC both are applied for the various usage but generally we prefer AC and DC as the voltage can be transformed easily in AC. AC is mostly used for the household appliances like computers, television, bulbs etc and businesses purposes whereas DC is required for electronic components.
