Electrical current in which the direction of the flow is reversed at frequent intervals, approximately 100 to 200 times per second, or 50 to 60 cycles per second (50/60 Hz).

A device that produces alternating current (AC) electricity, either through a motor or other sources, such as water and wind power.

A device that is used to measure current flow in an electrical circuit

The unit for the electric current

The amount of electrical energy related to the flow of current of one ampere for one hour.  Amp hours measure the amount of energy stored into a battery, commonly rated in Ah.
