Direct current (DC) this is produced by for example batteries. AC alternating current changes direction on a cyclical basis and is used in power distribution and what "comes out" of the power sockets in the home.

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.
What is a electron flow in only one direction called?
A current.
What are the 2 types of electrical current called?
Alternating Current which reverses its direction regularly at certain intervals Direct Current flowing continuously in one direction only
The movements of energy and nutrients through living systems are different because of what?
energy flows in one direction and nutrients recycle.
Electric current is a flow of charge why two wires rather a single is required?
If the current flows only in one direction, it will flow for a very short time - due to the electric charge that builds up. For example excess electrons will build up on one side, and stop any further electrons from coming in.
What is unidirectional current?
the current which flows in only one specific direction is called as unidirectional current
What is true regarding DC current?
A DC current flows only in one direction.
What is unidirectional property of diode. Mention its uses?
the current flows in one direction only
What current flows in one direction then the opposite direction?
AC, Alternating Current.
What is a electrical current that flows in one direction?
DC.
What is the difference altarnet current and direct current?
Direct current= flows in one direction ... AC flows in back and forward ..
What is the purpose of a rectifier?
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction.
When flow can reverse its direction regularly it is called?
Alternating Current (AC) reverses its flow constantly, unlike DC (constant current) which flows in one direction only.
What is the name of an electric current that flows in one direction?
That's a "direct" current.
What is the difference between altenating current and direct current?
The current (or electrons if you will {but thought of as flowing in the opposite direction} in a DC circuit flows only in one direction. In an AC circuit the current periodically flows in the opposite direction (in the US this usually happens 120 times a second, so 60 cycles per second.)
Can a current flow in one direction in an alternating path?
With alternating current the current flows alternately one way and then the other.
What current flows in one direction while anther remains constant?
In one direction - or constant - is called direct current. The other sort is called alternating current.
