Solution

Direct Current (D.C.):
- The graph of direct current is represented as a straight horizontal line above the time axis, indicating a constant value. The current flows in only one direction (does not change polarity).
- The value of the current remains constant over time, making it suitable for devices that require a stable voltage supply, such as batteries or electronic circuits.
Alternating current (A.C.):
- The graph of alternating current is represented as a wave that oscillates above and below the time axis, indicating that the current periodically reverses direction( changes polarity).
- The typical representation is a sine wave, indicating that both the magnitude and direction of the current vary over time.
