  • AC voltage varies periodically while DC voltage remains constant.
  • Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage applied across the two points, as long as other factors affecting resistance remain constant.
  • Ohm's law states that the voltage (V) across a component is equal to the product of its resistance (R) and the current (I) passing through it.
  • AC can be transformed to higher or lower voltage using transformers but DC cannot.
  • A series circuit has only one pathway for electricity, while a parallel circuit has multiple paths for electricity.
  • AC current reverses direction periodically while DC current flows in only one direction.
