as you see in dig you can save your life at 4 time in this AC cycle because you get 4 time zero in a cycle but in dc there is no chance to save your life so you can understand which one is dangerous.although both are dangerous because AC mainly fail your nerve system and DC burrent your skin

Hi ,

Good answer . There is always a chance to escape in AC .Be careful either way there is chance for death . So be careful to handle either AC or DC as and take all safety precautions .Both are equally dangerous.

We are mostly using AC power. So AC power is more and DC power is less.

What ? in what terms ? do you mean the more transmission ?

if so, AC power is more cheaper to transmit as less cross section area of tranmission conductor required, in 3 phases, current in conductor will be less then that carried by DC conductor. So, more & more power is being generated in AC form & transmitted in AC form. ( Now a days, 600kv HVDC system is also developed - the power being transmtted in DC form, generated in AC form, & at the end, converted in AC form .)
