alternating current have cyccles (+ve and -ve half cycle, its mean direction reverse) in a single wire only hot wite or positive wire and the other wire that is cold or negative wire is directly from nutral point or earth point which is only to complete the circuit.

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".

AC can be converted into DC by using diodes to block half of the current sine wave (half-wave rectifier) or divert half of the current sine wave (full-wave rectifier) so that it travels in the same direction as the other half of the sine wave, you can also use an AC motor to drive a DC generator.

The direction of a current depends on the voltage. Changing the voltage will change the current.

Alternating current always flows in the same direction; the direction of a direct current switches back and forth
