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 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.
