alleryThe main advantage of AC over DC is that power can be:
ASlowed down in the wire
BSent far with little loss
CStored long in dry cells
DSplit into equal shares
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Sent far with little loss
1. Direct current always flows in one direction, alternating current reverses.
2. The important advantage of AC is in transmission.
3. Electric power can be sent over long distances without much loss of energy.
