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.

Answer:

Electromagnetic field, a property of space caused by the motion of an electric charge. A stationary charge will produce only an electric field in the surrounding space. If the charge is moving, a magnetic field is also produced. An electric field can be produced also by a changing magnetic field.

The gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s2 here on Earth at sea level. What is the gravitational acceleration at a height of 35

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the definition of severity of Newtonian laws in which it is specified that gravity is defined by

$g= \frac{GM}{R^2}$
