What are the fields produced around a current carrying conductor? For the AC case, solving for the fields becomes wildly complicated very fast as now the electric field driving particle currents has both a voltage source and a time-varying magnetic source through the magnetic vector potential
Does alternating current (AC) require a complete circuit? Wherever there is an AC electric field in space around an AC circuit, there are source charges repeatedly bunching up and gathering and then draining somewhere in the circuit and the displacement current measures this "compressible" part of the conduction current flow that leads to these oscillating excess charge densities
What is meant by alternating current reversing direction The electricity, or more precisely, electric current is flowing in a loop When the electricity is delivered to your house, the loop is formed by a generator (the source of the electricity), an electric device in your house (the load) and two wires In reality the picture is a little more complicated, but the idea is the same When we say that an alternating current reverses its direction, we
How do electrons flow in AC? - Physics Stack Exchange Electrons flow from low potential to high potential in DC, i e from negative terminal to positive terminal But how do they flow in AC, as the polarity changes every 10ms for 50Hz?
Why is AC more dangerous than DC? - Physics Stack Exchange Alternating current (AC), because it alternately reverses direction of motion, provides brief moments of opportunity for an afflicted muscle to relax between alternations Thus, from the concern of becoming "froze on the circuit," DC is more dangerous than AC
Does AC current produce EM waves? - Physics Stack Exchange Does AC current in simple wires produce electromagnetic waves? AC current entails very rapid changes in polarity and therefore the electrons in the metal will feel rapidly changing forces which should make them accelerate before attaining a constant drift velocity
electric circuits - Why is AC current attractive and DC repulsive . . . What do you mean by attractive? I'm with the impression that there is a huge misunderstanding here Please try to include more context on where you read that AC is attractive What was the text about? Are you sure it was just not saying for example "AC is a more attractive [technology] than DC for power grid distribution" Secondly, you state that AC is "attractive" and that it also makes you
