Alternating current is called so because the electrons carried by the current move back & forth creating a wave. Alternating direction. Depending on where you are in the world, the number of times per second this wave occurs varies. Each wave, or cycle, back & forth is called a Hertz (Hz).
In New Zealand, our electrical current normally operates at 50Hz.
