Answer:

Alternating current

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of current.

1. Alternating current

2. Direct current

Alternating current is the current which reverses its direction regularly.

It varies according to the sinusoidal curve.

Its equation is given by


I = I_(0)Sin\omega t

where, ω is the angular frequency and t be the time taken.

Direct current is the current.
