How does direct current differ from alternating current?

In your home, the power outlets provide "Alternating Current", and in your car, the battery provides "Direct Current". The difference between "Alternating Current" and "Direct Current" is the changing relationship in reference to time. The battery in your car is a "Direct Current Power Source", with electrons that travel from the negative terminal of the battery, through some device such as a Radio, Lamp, etc., and follows the return path back to the positive side of the battery terminal. This is "Electron Flow Theory", commonly used to explain how electrical currents flow. In the United States, the electrical wall outlets in your home, will provide power for your Toaster, Coffee Maker, Stereo, Big Screen TV, etc., using current that changes directions, back and forth, 60-times per second, and is referred to as "Alternating Current".

How alternating current is transformed into direct current?
