The content and Topic does not match.

I expected the article to cover alternating current and how electric devices behave when AC passes through them. However, it turned out to focus on electric power and AC voltage, omitting significant details on the behavior of certain circuits with AC and the production and control of AC.

IMO the article pretty well focuses on the named topic. Once you start getting into adjacent areas there are a zillion ways it could go. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:16, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Set up an archive

With all the long time moot threads hanging around, I think it is time to setup archiving. Any discussion? Constant314 (talk) 21:30, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. North8000 (talk) 21:33, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I archived most of the older threads with a script. Tactical Falcon (talk) 23:11, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have set up auto archiving. New old stuff will go to Talk:Alternating current/Archive 4. ~Kvng (talk) 21:40, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
