Household utility current in most countries is AC with a frequency of 60 hertz (60 complete cycles per second), although in some countries it is 50 Hz. The radio-frequency (RF) current in antennas and transmission lines is another example of AC.More information on Alternating Current (AC):An AC waveform can be sinusoidal, square, or sawtooth-shape ...
