Which AC or DC?

Nearly everything you can think of electronic runs off either AC or DC.

Or did you mean the band? I like many AC⚡️DC songs.

EDIT:

AC is generally better for transmission over power lines and useful for motors.

DC is generally better for electronics. Most things you’re familiar with run off DC. Often they will have an AC adapter which converts to DC.

Heck, my Tesla converts AC from the wall to DC in the car, it uses DC to power all the electronics and AC to power the motors.
