a true
b false
clear selection
Brief Explanations
The frequency of an alternating current (AC) is defined as the number of complete cycles per second. One cycle of AC involves the current changing direction twice (from positive to negative and back to positive). So, if the frequency is 60 Hz (60 cycles per second), the current changes direction \(2\times60 = 120\) times per second.
