    AC vs DC

    So how is it exactly that one introduces a phase angle to a DC voltage or current source? Maybe you could draw us a phasor diagram to help...

    AC vs DC

    Actually DC is better for transmission and here is why: AC current introduces reactances in the transmission line due to the fluctuating magnetic...
