What is the Frequency of Alternating Current in India?

AnswerIn India, 

Frequency of alternating current = 50 Hz.

This frequency can vary from country to country.

Alternating current-

At a regular interval of time, when a current changes its magnitude and polarity then it is known as alternating current. This current reverses its direction to that of the Direct Current (DC- flows in a single direction). Alternating current is depicted as a waveform called a sine wave. The unit of alternating current is Hertz (Hz).
