You cause the current to flow through an electronic device that allows current to flow in one direction
but not in the other direction. Such a device is called a "diode" or a "rectifier".

What happens to an electric current when the wire is made smaller?
Electric current as we usually describe it is the flow of electrons. Current is caused to flow by voltage, which can be looked at as "electrical pressure" that forces electrons to move. Currents can be made smaller or larger by decreasing the voltage across a fixed amount of resistance. As resistance is the quality of "resisting" or "limiting" current flow, we can change resistance to change current. For a give voltage, if we increase the resistance, we can make the current smaller, and if we decrease it, we can make current larger. In electronics, voltage equals current times resistance. E = I x R Also true is that current is equal to voltage divided by resistance. I = E/R As current equals volts divided by resistance, if we change one of them without changing the other, current will change. And in increase in voltage (with no change to resistance) will cause current to go up. The opposite is also true. Also, if we increase resistance (with no change in voltage), current will go down. And the opposite is true here, too.
What is the approximate lagging phase angle for the current in this circuit?
Only a guess can be made - 35 degrees?
What is meant by DC motor?
Only a DC motor uses direct current, and the reason is that it is the only supply available. There are also plenty of AC motors used when there is an AC supply. DC tends to be used for low-power devices like fans in electronic equipment.
How to calculate the inductance of a home made inductor?
To calculate the inductance of a home made inductor simply take the number of turns,the magnetic flux linkage and the current and use the inductance formula.
The path that a electrical current travels?
A path that is made for an electric current is called a circuit. The two main components in a circuit are the load and a source which are combined with conductors and as a whole form a circuit.
A current that moves back and forth is?
Possibly, you are thinking of Alternating Current?
What is the use of current?
The world around you is made of Electricity (current)!
What controls the strength of a magnet made with electric current?
The strength of a magnet(electromagnet) made by flowing electric current through a conducting coil depends on magnitude of current. . .
Where are royal enfield made?
Current models are made in India.
Why is the base of transistor made very thin?
Base of transistor is made thin just to get Collector current equal to Emitter current.
Path made for an electric current?
A path made for an electric current is classified as a conductor and can come in the form of many shapes and sizes.
Where are cheavy camaros made?
The current ones are made in Ontario, Canada
What scientist do to prove and introduce current electricity?
they made inventions to prove that current electricity is there.
Who is the father of current?
Nikola Tesla is known as the father of current. Tesla is made contributions to the modern alternating current of electricity.
Are investments current assets?
If investments made for short term securities then it is current assets other wise non-current assets.
What is fusing current?
The fusing current is a value of current that causes the fuse to melt and interrupt the flow of current. Usually, reference is made to the minimum fusing current which is the smallest value of current that will cause the fuse to melt.
What strenghthens a magentic field made by a current carrying wire?
Increasing the current along the wire.
