" Since you have asked for multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question."

AC is the alternating current, and DC is the Direct current. The frequency of AC current is high, and DC has no frequency. The rotating magnets cause a change in direction of the electric flow. In AC, the flow of current and electrons changes direction, and in DC, electrons flow in a single direction.
