AC Fundamentals

An electricity that constantly reverses its current flow.

• Alternating Current Electricity

• Direct Current Electricity

• Static Electricity

• Dynamic Electricity

It is the fundamental alternating current (AC) and alternating voltage waveform.

• High tide

• Frequency

The number of cycles that a sine wave completes in one second.

• Period

• Hertz

• Amplitude

• Frequency

Time interval for one complete cycle

• Period

• RMS Value
