Answer 1

Answer: This isn't an answer but the other answer just made me crack up. Thanks I really needed that. Hope everyones doing well in these weird times - Viki

Answer 2

Generators used in power plants do not have a commutator (which determines the flow of electricity to be alternating current or direct current), beyond that, it is advantageous to have alternating current flowing out of a power plant because direct current can only flow for about a mile without major resistance. Alternating Current can flow for far longer without experiencing any major resistance. Wait. Two types of current. Two is a number. So is three. Three sides on a triangle. Electricity is Illuminati confirmed. Δ
