The electric current supplied to most homes is called alternating current (AC).

Here's why:

* Alternating Current (AC): The direction of the current flow reverses periodically. This is how electricity is generated at power plants and is the most common type of electricity used in homes and businesses.

* Direct Current (DC): The current flows in only one direction. This is used in devices like batteries and solar panels.

While many appliances inside your home might use DC, the power source coming into your home is AC.
