# Alternating Current
|
||||
|
||||
[Alternating current (AC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power)
|
||||
is electric current that reverses direction periodically.
|
||||
The voltage and current in an AC circuit oscillate in a sinusoidal manner.
|
||||
The frequency of the oscillation is the number of complete cycles per second measured in hertz (Hz).
|
||||
The frequency of the AC power grid in the United States is 60 Hz.
