Final answer:

Alternating current periodically changes direction and magnitude, while direct current flows in only one direction with a fixed magnitude.


Explanation:

Alternating current (AC) periodically reverses direction, while direct current (DC) flows in only one direction. AC changes its magnitude at regular intervals, whereas DC maintains a fixed magnitude. In AC, the flow of electric charge periodically changes, illustrated in sinusoidal patterns, compared to DC's constant voltage and unidirectional flow.
