difference between ac and dc

Answer Posted / electrokarz

* AC can be stepped-up or stepped down efficiently using
transformers where as DC cannot be stepped up or down
efficiently ( the losses in DC-DC buck/boost choppers are
quite high)

* Skin effect is observed in AC transmission systems but not
in DC.

* The need of brushes and commutators makes DC generators
expensive and needs regular maintenance where as AC machines
(generators and motors) are cheap and needs less or no
maintenance.

* Synchronization with system frequency is needed in AC systems.
