Answer:

A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

In DC current and voltage the direction of current will not change with time and it always remains the same.

So here in DC voltage and DC current the magnitude may change with time but the direction will always remain same

While in AC voltage and AC current the direction of AC will change with time

periodically.

So here magnitude and direction both will change in AC current and AC voltage.

so the correct answer is

A)     the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

Answer:

option  <u>A</u>    

Explanation:

AC stands for Alternating current and DC stands for Direct current. The main difference between AC and DC is that current changes direction in AC and not in DC. Actually the direction of flow of electrons reverses periodically. In direct current, the electrons flow in same direction.

Thus, option A is correct.

In the diagram, the arrow shows the movement of electric charges through a wire connected to a battery.
solong [7]

Due to difference in electric potential.

<h3>What is Potential difference?</h3>

The amount of work in an electrical field to move a unit charge from one place to another is known as the electrical potential difference.

Here , the potential difference is the difference in electric potential between two charged substances.

Current is the flow of charges from one end end to another end of a conducting wire connected across a two terminals of a battery.

The potential difference is [provided by the battery across the two terminals due which the charges flow.

Current flow is from positive to negative terminals, indicating the movement of positive charges in that direction.

Hence , potential difference causes the electric charges to flow from one end of the battery .
