Does a light switch produce AC or DC electric currents?
Alternating (AC) and direct (DC) currents are different forms of electricity. It is universal nowadays to have AC in all houses because the electricity grid distribution system is all AC. DC was used by Edison and continued for some years but is now discontinued. It is still used in vehicles where 12 V DC is the normal system. A light switch simply interrupts the current or makes the circuit as required, and both AC and DC need to have switches.
