text: Two of the key advantages of AC electricity are that 1) power losses are less than with DC when AC power is transmitted over long distances, and 2) AC voltage can be relatively easily ramped up or down using devices called transformers; DC, by contrast, loses more voltage (and therefore power) over long distances, and its voltage cannot be easily altered to suit whatever appliance you may happen to be using.
text: 2011 DC loses more energy when traveling further due to what happens when applying the magnetism along the wire steadily and not using the magnet that is rotating.
