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".
What else can I help you with?
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Why does AC load differ from DC load?
The terms a.c. and d.c. stand for alternating current and direct current, respectively.
Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Lightning carries Alternating current or Direct Current?
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
What converts direct current to alternating current?
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
Will a battery supply direct current or alternating current or ac?
direct current.
What is the fusing current?
alternating current and direct current
Was direct current or alternating current first?
direct came first
How does alternating current and direct current affect heating ventilation and airconditioning?
how dose alternating current and direct current affect heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
Which would make more shock the alternating current or direct current?
direct current
What is a constant current?
DC or Direct Current. The current is no alternating.
How does a device convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC)?
A device called an inverter is used to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The inverter switches the direction of the current flow at a rapid rate, creating an alternating current output from the direct current input.
