Why is DC current not used in homes?
I'm curious, why is it that Direct Current, or DC, isn't commonly used in our homes for electricity distribution? It seems to me that it's a simpler form of current compared to Alternating Current, or AC. Is there a specific reason behind this decision, or are there technical limitations that prevent its widespread adoption in residential settings? I'd love to hear your insights on this topic.

Why is DC current expensive?
I'm curious, could you explain why DC current is often considered more expensive compared to its counterpart, AC current? Are there specific factors that contribute to this cost difference, such as the materials used in transmission, the efficiency of conversion processes, or the demand and supply dynamics in the market? Understanding these aspects may provide valuable insights into the economic considerations surrounding the adoption and usage of DC current in various applications.
