What can AC be used for?

-Fans

-TV

-Air Conditioners

-Motors

-Radios

400

how does it work?

Barkhausen did so by connecting a wire coil surrounding an iron core to an amplifier, then bringing a magnet close to the coil. Any signal picked up by the amplifier was sent to a speaker, which enabled Barkhausen to hear a progression of clicking noises whenever he moved the magnet.
