Both
AC and
DC describe types of current flow in a circuit. In direct current (
DC), the electric charge (current) only flows in one direction. Electric charge in
alternating current (
AC), on the other hand, changes direction periodically.

Each AC/DC power adapter is specifically designed to accept a certain AC input (usually the standard output from a 120 V AC outlet in your home) and convert it to a particular DC output. ... The key is to match the DC output of the adapter to the DC input of your device.Jan 20, 2021

AC means Alternating Current and DC means Direct Current. AC and DC are also used when referring to voltages and electrical signals which are not currents! For example: a 12V AC power supply has an alternating voltage (which will make an alternating current flow).
