In direct current charges carries have a drift velocity but in alternating current there is no net velocity of the charge carriers. Explain why?
In direct current the charge carries always flow in the same direction, while in alternating current they change direction repeatedly, meaning overall there is no net direction.
Current that reverses direction in the regular pattern is called?
This is known as a direct current or DC. The two major types of currents are AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current). In AC the charges move back and forth, but in DC the charges flow in JUST ONE DIRECTION. Due to this characteristic it will not reverse direction like AC can.
An electric current is the measure of what?
An electric current is a movement of charges, and it is measured in amperes or just amps. An ammeter is used to make this measurement. Current flow is a scalar quantity, and it refers to the number of charges passing a given point per unit of time.
What detemines the intensity of an arc flash?
-- the current in the arc -- your definition of 'intensity'
The flow of electric charges is called?
The flow of electric charges is current.
What is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction called?
A Direct Current or DC direct current is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction.
What is the conventional current flow?
Conventional current flow is the flow of positive charges, or the equivalent flow of positive charges. That is, if what flows is really negative charges (for example, an electron), which flow in one direction, the "conventional current" flows in the opposite direction.
When charges continually shift from one direction to flowing in the other direction what current?
Polarity
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction what current is there?
It is called an alternating current
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction there is a what current?
Alternating current would fit this description.
What is the net movement of electric charges in a single direction?
An Electric Current :)
When charges shift from flowing one direction to another what current is there?
From your question it sounds like alternating current.
What is The net movement of electric charges is a single direction is called?
That is called an electrical current, or just a current.
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction?
. . . then that would be alternating current, or simply, 'AC'.
How does the direction in which current carrying wire is forced when in a magnetic field compare with the direction that moving charges are forced?
no idea man
