Answer / subbarayalu
some of the advantages of AC over DC are
1) it can be stepped up or stepped down in voltage
2) it can be transported to longer distances
3) it can have least loss power loss due to heating.
4) it is easier and cheaper to produce
5) it is economical to trasport. etc.,
6) it is easy to design equipment
7) size of the AC machine will be small

Answer / adnan kauchali
The main advantage of AC over DC is that it can be easily
steeped up or stepped down using static
machines(Transformer). The power can either be increased to
extra high voltage for long transmission or stepped down to
the safe voltage for consumer use.
Except these there are several advantages of AC power
