Alternating Current Vs Direct Current 2: Answer: Explanation

1. The document discusses the key differences between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). DC current flows only in one direction, while AC current periodically reverses direction. 2. It also covers different types of waveforms including sine waves, square waves, and sawtooth waves. A square wave and rectangular wave appear to change voltage levels abruptly while a sawtooth wave changes voltage linearly over time. 3. Various properties of waves are defined, such as duty cycle, period, frequency, peak and RMS values. The RMS value of a sine wave is 0.707 times the peak-to-peak amplitude divided by 2.
