What are the advantages of AC over DC?

Explanation

Advantages of AC over DC are,
i) The voltage of an AC can be varied easily using a transformer.
ii) The AC can be carried over long distances using step up transformers.
iii) The loss of energy while distributing current in the form of AC is negligible.
iv) DC cannot be transmitted as such, but AC can be easily converted to DC.
v) Generating AC is easier than DC, AC can produce electromagnetic induction which is useful in several ways.
