Potential decrease in the direction that the current flows?

The potential difference. The electrons flows from a lower potential to a higher potential. The electric current flows in the opposite direction. The electric field's direction is always from a higher potential to a lower potential. Its kind of like a waterfall. The water always falls down not up. It goes from a higher potential to a lower potential.

Current defined as Positive charge flow , flows from higher potential to the lower. Current defined as electron flow, flows from lower potential to higher. In general Potential and Current are defined by positive charge.

Electric current flows from a high elecric potential to a low electric potential in a circuit. It is also opposite to the direction of the flow of electrons.

In a DC circuit (battery), the lower potential is always on one 'end' of the circuit so the current always flows in the same direction. In a AC circuit, a wave is generated so each end cycles between high and low potential. Current always flows towards lower potential and changes direction every time the higher/ lower potential changes

The electric current moves in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons by convention.When a potential difference is applied to a material which has "loose" electrons, the electrons move in a direction opposite to the potential gradient and the current moves in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons.This is how current flows in materials.

in diode current flows from anode to cathode

Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction. Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.

AC, alternating current.

AC or alternating current.

Direct current= flows in one direction ... AC flows in back and forward ..

Opposites attract, a place with relative high potential has the property of equalizing potential over the available space and so electric current flows to the lower potential to even out the overall potential.

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.

The California current flows south.

No. Current flows from a high potential to a low potential. 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', not 'potential'.

A resistor is bi-directional meaning current can flow in either direction. Current flows from positive to negative.

Current is a vector quantity with certain magnitude and direction same as Voltage or Potential Difference . So when flows in any circuit, it is in phase or out of phase with applied voltage, if its magnitude and direction is changing before applied voltage then said to be leading current and if after then lagging current.

When a capacitor discharges the discharge current flows in the opposite direction to the current used to charge it.

That's a "direct" current.

The direction of the current does.

DC (direct current, a current that flows in a single direction).

direct current ( "DC" )

There is a potential difference (voltage) between two points and a path for electrons to travel from an area of low potential (negative) to an area of high potential (positive). Note the direction of "current flow" is opposite the direction of electron flow. In other words current flows from positive to negative. In a circuit involving only a resistor, the current flowing in the circuit is given by I=V/R where I = current, V= voltage…

That may refer to DC electricity - direct current. This is when the current always flows in the same direction, unlike AC which changes its direction several times per second. That may refer to DC electricity - direct current. This is when the current always flows in the same direction, unlike AC which changes its direction several times per second. That may refer to DC electricity - direct current. This is when the current always…

Direct current is simply current that flows in only one direction.

the current which flows in only one specific direction is called as unidirectional current
