Type of electrical current, the direction of which is reversed at regular intervals or cycles. The US standard is 120 reversals (60 cycles) per second.

| alternating current |
The characteristic of electricity in which the current flow in a circuit changes direction (180 degrees). Each change is called a cycle. The number of cycles during a given time period is called frequency. The standard frequency in the United States is 60 cycles per second.
