**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Introduction to AC and DC Voltage:** - AC (Alternating Current) voltage changes direction periodically, while DC (Direct Current) voltage flows in one direction. The preference for AC over DC in many applications is due to several advantages that AC provides. 2. **Reason 1: Easier Generation of AC Voltage:** - AC voltage can be easily generated using AC generators (alternators). These generators are simpler to operate and maintain compared to DC generators. The design and operation of AC generators allow for efficient production of electricity. ...
