<h2>Answer: Generator</h2>

Alternating Current (AC) is the electric current in which the magnitude and direction vary cyclically.

In other words:

It is a variable electric current in which <u>electrical charges change the direction of movement periodically</u>.

Unlike Direct Current (DC), that is produced by a chemical reaction (a battery, for example), alternating current is produced by a <u>generator</u> that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
