What is the difference between AC voltage and DC voltage?
AC: abbreviation for alternating current, indicating alternating current, such as AC220v, indicating alternating voltage of 220v.

DC: English abbreviation for direct current, which means direct current. For example, DC5v means DC 5v voltage.

Extended data:

Voltage, also called potential difference or potential difference, is a physical quantity to measure the energy difference of unit charge in electrostatic field due to different potentials. Its magnitude is equal to the work done by the unit positive charge moving from point A to point B under the action of electric field force, and the direction of voltage is defined as the direction from high potential to low potential. The international unit system of voltage is volts (V for short), and commonly used units are millivolts (mV), microvolts (μV) and kilovolts (kV). This concept is similar to the "water pressure" caused by the high and low water level. It should be pointed out that the word "voltage" is generally only used for circuits, while "potential difference" and "potential difference" are generally used for all electrical phenomena.
