Equation

       
    Name Alternating Current
 
    Equation I = I 0 sin ( ω t + φ )
 
    Definition of terms I = current, I0 = amplitude, ω = frequency, t = time, φ = an arbitrary phase
 
    Comments   If an electric current is of the above from, then it is said to be alternating. Most electric and magnetic devices use alternating currents for two reasons: it is easy to change the voltage by means of transformers, and modulation of the signal can allow for transmission of information.
