Answer:

in AC the current constantly reverses direction, while in DC the direction of the current remains the same

Explanation:

The major difference between the two types of electricity is the following:

- DC (Direct Current): in this type of electricity, the charge carriers (generally, electrons) travel in one direction only - always from the point at lower potential to the point at higher potential. This type of current is the current created by cells or batteries, and it is used by portable devices (e.g. laptops, cameras, etc.)

- AC (Alternating Current): in this type of electricity, the charge carriers constantly change their direction of motion. In fact, in this case, there is a generator which provides an alternating voltage (which means that the polarity of the voltage is constantly reversed). This type of current is the one used by household appliances. Also, the electricity from power plants to the houses is also transferred as AC electricity.

How is momentum conserved in a newtons cradle <br><br> when one steel ball hits the other
arsen [322]

In Newton's Cradle experiment we know that all cradles of same mass and identical to each other

Now we know that when two identical objects collide elastically then they interchange their velocity

So here we have same illustration

When Newton pulls up a cradle and release it will move hit another cradle which is at rest

Due to elastic collision between them first cradle comes to rest and another cradle will move ahead with same speed this process remains the same and one by one all cradle hit another.

So at the last the cradle at the end will move off with the same speed as the first cradle will hit with the speed.

So in this experiment the cradle at the last end will move off at same distance away from the right end as that of left end we pull the cradle.

So here we can say that in horizontal direction when all cradles are colliding each other there is no external force on the system so momentum is conserved and they all will move off with same speed and hence we observe the above condition.

Vlada [557]
One disadvantage<span> with </span>renewable energy<span> is that it is difficult to generate the quantities of electricity that are as large as those produced by traditional fossil fuel generators

One advantage</span><span> with renewable energy is that as it is renewable it is therefore sustainable and so will never run out.

I dont know who you are referring to as "rosa" i hope this helps
