Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric current in only one direction. It refers to systems where the source voltage is constant.
The voltage source of an alternating current (AC) system puts out
, where
is the voltage at time
,
is the peak voltage, and
is the frequency in hertz.
In a simple circuit,
and AC current is
, where
is the current at time
, and
is the peak current.
The average AC power is
.
Average (rms) current
and average (rms) voltage
are
and
, where rms stands for root mean square.
Thus,
.
Ohm's law for AC is
.
Expressions for the average power of an AC circuit are
,
, and
, analogous to the expressions for DC circuits.
Conceptual questions
Give an example of a use of AC power other than in the household. Similarly, give an example of a use of DC power other than that supplied by batteries.

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but
Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.

What do you think is more important to focus on when considering inequality ?
sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs
Awais
thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
