[sdiy] Alternating dead current voltage??

[Tim Parkhurst]

AC = Alternating Current
DC = Direct (not "dead") Current

I think that makes it a little clearer. Theoretically, I think it IS
possible to have voltage without current flow (voltage is just a measure of
potential difference), but it's not something that happens too often in the
real world.
