Question:
In domestic electric mains supply, the voltage and the current are
In domestic electric mains supply, the voltage and the current are
Show Hint
In most household electrical systems, the voltage and current are alternating, with standard frequencies like 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- DC voltage and AC current
- AC voltage and AC current
- AC voltage and DC current
- DC voltage and DC current
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In domestic electric mains supply, both the voltage and current are alternating, meaning they vary sinusoidally with time. Therefore, the correct answer is AC voltage and AC current. This is typical for household electrical systems where both the voltage and current are alternating, as opposed to DC (direct current) systems which have a constant value. Thus, the correct answer is option (2): AC voltage and AC current.
