I believe the error is the word current. Current is measured in amperes (amps) and not volts. The right answer would be The AC current flowing through the circuit is 24 amperes.
You were close to the answer but it's not correct
Here's the correct answer
The error in the sentence is the use of "A.C. current."
Reason: The term "A.C." stands for "Alternating Current," so saying "A.C. current" is redundant. It's like saying "ATM machine" — "C" already stands for "current."
Corrected sentence:
"The A.C. flowing through the circuit is 24 volts."
This makes the sentence more concise and technically correct.
