and i dont mean the "a.c." part.
====> A.c. was superior because of the easy transformation of voltages.
like altogether it means...

Usagi:
Alternating Current has the advantage over Direct Current (DC) of being able to be produced at very high voltage and then being rectified, that is being 'transformed' or stepped-down to lower voltage or DC.
High AC voltage has positive implications for conducting power to remote locations. AC can be transferred long distances over 'high tension' lines with low loss and in an efficient manner.

Alternating Current (AC) was superior [to Direct Current] because it was easier to use a transformer to change from high to low voltages.
High voltage is used to transfer electric a long way. Lower voltages in DC meant that power plants had to be close to the users. AC worked better that way.

A.c. was better then the rest because it can easily pass along its power to others.

An AC motor was used because it is easier to change the voltage applied to it and it makes it a better choice in some application.

Alternating Current. In one phase its negative and in another positive. It shifts. Your food processor uses this type.
