Direct current is a constant, steady state current, such as obtained from a battery. Alternating current is constantly switching polarity, usually in a sinusoidal waveform, such as obtained from an alternator, a form of generator that does not have a commutator.
Direct Current and Alternating Current:
The first and simpler type of electricity is called direct current, abbreviated "DC". This is the type of electricity that is produced by batteries, static, and lightning. A voltage is created, and possibly stored, until a circuit is completed. When it is, the current flows directly, in one direction. In the circuit, the current flows at a specific, constant voltage (this is oversimplified somewhat but good enough for our needs.)
The other type of electricity is called alternating current, or "AC". This is the electricity that you get from your house's wall and that you use to power most of your electrical appliances. Alternating current is harder to explain than direct current. The electricity is not provided as a single, constant voltage, but rather as a sinusoidal (sine) wave that over time starts at zero, increases to a maximum value, then decreases to a minimum value, and repeats.
An open circuit which as you see i am not making sence but this will not be shown i will add that this question can be answered with some notes you should have and should not be asking other people it have a good day
In Spanish, a direct current is called "corriente continua" - continuous current. A direct (or continuous) current flows continuously in a single direction.
An alternating current changes direction all the time.

Yes battery deliver a direct current not a alternating current because battery has
limited amount of energy and to create a electric pressure acrross the circuit it gives out a direct current. Therefore alternating current varie from 0v - 240v and it keeps on varying.

Its DC but needs to be hooked up to an inverter to convert it into AC before you can use it.
All electricity that is brought to your home is Alternating current
A car is run on dc (direct) current
flow of charge
ac and dc (alternating current and direct current)
A diode does that.
There are two types of electric current, DC or direct current and AC or alternating current. The power delivery to homes in most places in the world is AC or alternating current. This is where the electrons are pushed one way then back the other way with usually 100 or 120 changes in direction per second. This produces 50 or 60 forward/back cycles every second called 50Hz or 60Hz.
Alternating current can be sent via cables much much farther than direct current.
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
Direct Current. His opponent, Nikolas Testa, wanted Alternating Current.
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
