What is the difference between objects that use electricity from power stations and those that use electricity from batteries?
Technically, you are speaking about the delivery of current. Electricity is one type of current. The current has two differences: The current from batteries has a much lower voltage, and it is DC, while the electricity from the electrical plug is AC. Devices that use current have to be adapted to these two situations. Some devices are only battery powered, e.g. flashlight. Other devices have internal mechanisms to switch the power current between battery and electrical outlet, e.g. a laptop.
Do you use static electricity in your homes or current electricity?
electric current (alternating)
What type of electricity does a flashlight use?
Usually, a flashlight will use either 3 or 6 volts DC, depending on how many batteries it takes.. The fact that it's a battery defines that it will be Direct Current (DC). Each battery is 1.5 nominal voltage, so: If a flashlight holds 2 batteries, it is (1.5 volts) x 2 = 3.0 volts. If a flashlight holds 4 batteries, then it is (1.5 v) (4) = 6 v. Now, I'm not sure on a 4-battery flashlight, if they are circuited separately somehow (I imagine they are, cause I've never had to decide between 3 or 6 volts when buying replacement lamps).
What is direct current and alternating current?
Direct current is a constant, steady state current, such as obtained from a battery. Alternating current is constantly switching polarity, usually in a sinusoidal waveform, such as obtained from an alternator, a form of generator that does not have a commutator.Direct Current and Alternating Current:The first and simpler type of electricity is called direct current, abbreviated "DC". This is the type of electricity that is produced by batteries, static, and lightning. A voltage is created, and possibly stored, until a circuit is completed. When it is, the current flows directly, in one direction. In the circuit, the current flows at a specific, constant voltage (this is oversimplified somewhat but good enough for our needs.)The other type of electricity is called alternating current, or "AC". This is the electricity that you get from your house's wall and that you use to power most of your electrical appliances. Alternating current is harder to explain than direct current. The electricity is not provided as a single, constant voltage, but rather as a sinusoidal (sine) wave that over time starts at zero, increases to a maximum value, then decreases to a minimum value, and repeats.
How is the wind energy source collected and turned into usable energy?
By using wind turbine, linear wind motion is turn to circular motion turning the dynamo and transformed to direct current electrical energy. Wind generated electricity from the wind turbine usually varied in current and voltage, the unsteady electricity is then pass through to regulator to a steady voltage and either transformed from a direct current (DC) to alternative current (AC) for use with home appliance or stock up into battery for later use.
Where do you use direct currect?
An example of direct current is the current used from a car battery to activate the starter motor. Also the flashlight uses direct current.
What type of electricity do you use everyday?
You use DC (direct current) everyday
How much electricity does a flashlight use?

What kind of energy is stored in a flashlight battery enabling it to function?
Well, most portable electronics will us Direct Current energy, or DC energy, for short. Direct Current is a weaker form of electricity. Alternating Current is the other form of electricity. It is used in houses. The reason they don't use AC energy for small things is because the converter needed for the AC weighs about 2 pounds for a single appliance. To use one that can do multiple things at once, like the ones in your house, then you must buy the regular, larger converters, which cost around 2000 dollars for the cheaper ones. And, don't forget that they weigh about 3300 pounds each!
Does a house use direct or indirect electricity?
I did once live in a house with direct current supply (I assume that is what you are referring to.) I could not use my electric razor! Nowadays I shouldn't think there are many parts of well developed countries that use DC, almost everywhere uses Alternating current (A.C.)
What is the difference between the electricity in your house and that in your car?
House electricity is alternating current whereas cars use direct current. Although there are examples of AC in cars because of tranformers, doides and alternators. A course in electricity would be a help to understand this. Hybrid cars are another subject altogether.
What do you use DC electricity for?
Direct current (dc) electricity is used in many different things, including for example: digital watches and cameras, cellphones, laptop computers, mp3 players, cars, motorbikes ...
