Alternating current (AC) continually flows in one direction then it changes direction and flows the other way. This switching back and forth creates what is called a sinusoid or sine wave. Frequency is the rate of this back and forth switching in alternating current. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz) which is the number times a wave switches back and forth PER SECOND or better described as CYCLES PER SECOND.

What does the term frequency mean in electricity?
That refers to AC (alternating current). A direct current flows only in one direction; an alternating current changes its direction all the time. The "frequency" refers to how often the current changes direction. It is expressed in hertz (Hz), which means the same as cycles/second.
What has Relation mean?
"Relation" means: logical or natural association between two or more things.
What does ac mean in relation to dates?
hello
What is different between arithmetic mean and frequency mean?
They differ in formula
What does frequency mean in maths terms?
frequency is how often a number or other piece of data occurs. if the data was 1,1,1,3,4,4,5. then the frequency for one would be three. the frequency for three would be one the frequency for four would be two and the frequency for five would be one.

What does the term rectifier mean?
An electrical device that converts alternating current to direct current is known as a rectifier. An inverter is a device that converts direct current to alternating current.
What does A.C.E MEAN?
Depending on how it's used, it can mean air conditioning, or it can mean alternating current (as electrically powered) as opposed to battery powered (DC, which is direct current). Or Animal Crossing
What is mean by rectifier?
It converts AC (Alternating current) into DC (Direct current)
What does a c in a car mean?
air conditionning no Alternating current
What does AC mean about current flow?
AC means Alternating Current. Alternating Current changes direction constantly, usually at 60Hz (US, Canada, and others) or 50Hz (UK and others).
What does kvac mean?
K = kilo = 1000's V = volts AC = alternating current So, 12 KVAC is 12,000 volts of alternating current
What do -ac mean?
It mean air condition... It mean alternating current too... and Atlantic city
What is the mean by the word A'C in electical system?
AC refers to Alternating Current, as opposed to DC which is Direct Current.
Can alternative current be turned into direct current?
By "alternative" I presume you mean "alternating". Yes it can by using a device called a rectifier then some sort of bypass circuit to conduct the alternating current to ground, usually just a capacitor.
What is the relationship between peak current peak to peak current and RMS current?
RMS is the root mean square value.(in alternating current only)
What is term used when an Alternating current acts like a direct current?
The term is "rectification", which refers to the process of converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). This is typically done using a rectifier circuit, which only allows current to flow in one direction.
