The voltage level, whether AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct Current), is not inherently higher in one type over the other. Both AC and DC can be used at high or low voltage levels depending on the application. However, when we talk about high-voltage transmission, AC is generally used for long-distance power transmission because it is easier to step up or step down AC voltage using transformers.
In contrast, DC is used in applications like batteries, electronic devices, and some specialized power transmission systems (like HVDC for long-distance transmission), but it's less common for high-voltage transmission over long distances compared to AC.
So, it's not about AC or DC being inherently higher in voltage, but rather how each is used in different systems and applications.
