An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example, the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system, if the system is divided in half, the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. Additionally, the boiling point of a substance is another example of an intensive property. For example, the boiling point for water is 100 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere, a fact which remains true regardless of quantity.

Alternating Current (AC) is the current in which flow of current is altered periodically whereas in DC current i.e, direct current the flow of current is only in one direction.

Some of the sources of AC current are :

1. Hydro-electric generators

2. Thermal power generators

3. Nuclear  power generators...

Energy tranfer takes place either by means of Heat or Work only in Thermodynamics.

Heat :: Heat Energy is defined as Energy that can be transferred due to temperature change.

Whereas

Thermal Energy :: Thermal Energy is the Internal Energy stored in the system maintained at a certain Temperature.
