It is called "alternating current" or "ac current".

An alternating current is a current the periodically changes direction. Basically, the voltage difference applied at the two ends of the wire / of the circuit is constantly reversed. This means that at some point electrons travel in one direction, then the voltage is switched (i.e. the polarities are exchanged) and the electrons start to flow into the opposite direction, and so on.

Law Incorporation [45]
Drag is usually ignored because its effect on the horizontal velocity is usually negligible due to the short time of flight.

An object's surface area and geometry, along with the object's surrounding wind speed will affect the drag force.

In most cases, drag force will cause the object to land horizontally closer to the predicted landing point as drag is a resistive force.
