A diode will let current pass through only in one direction. Note that this will result in a pulsating current; to make the current more regular, you also need capacitors.

Which is something that a vacuum tube cannot do?
A. Change alternating current into direct current. B. Increase the strength of a signal
What is the current called?
flow of charge
What are the different modes of electricity?
ac and dc (alternating current and direct current)
Name device which permits direct current and opposes the flow of alternating current?
A diode does that.
What is an electric current that periodically changes direction?
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.
What has the ability to change alternating current into direct current?
rectifier
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Which is a circuit used to change alternating current to direct current?
Insufficient information given.
What device has the ability to change direct current to alternating current?
It's called an inverter.
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.
Did Thomas Edison want direct current or alternating current?
Direct Current. His opponent, Nikolas Testa, wanted 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?
