What is the name of an electric current that flows in one direction?
That's a "direct" current.
Current flows from plus ve to -ve or-ve to plus ve?
There are two ways to look at current. Conventional current (measured in amps) flows from positive to negative. This model works for the vast majority of electrical engineering purposes. However, current is created by the movement of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge so electrons moving in one direction will give rise to conventional current in the opposite direction. Therefore, although current flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.
What is unidirectional property of diode. Mention its uses?
the current flows in one direction only
Compare alternating current with direct current?
Alternating current changes direction on a set frequency such as 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz. Direct current always flows in one direction.
Is a diode useful after breakdown?
Yes diode is useful after break down because it flows current from one direction to other direction
What is the difference between altenating current and direct current?
The current (or electrons if you will {but thought of as flowing in the opposite direction} in a DC circuit flows only in one direction. In an AC circuit the current periodically flows in the opposite direction (in the US this usually happens 120 times a second, so 60 cycles per second.)
What is the conventional current flow?
Conventional current flow is the flow of positive charges, or the equivalent flow of positive charges. That is, if what flows is really negative charges (for example, an electron), which flow in one direction, the "conventional current" flows in the opposite direction.
A ridge situated so that water on one side flows in one direction and water on the other side flows in the opposite direction?
Divide
What is the difference in AC welding machine and DC welding machine?
Alternating current flows from the welder through the torch into your welder, through the grounding cable, and back into your machine. It then flows in the exact opposite direction. The result is deep penetration, and removal of impurities in the weld. It is used mainly on aluminum and alloys. Direct current has both a positive and negative setting: the difference is the direction of the current. One flows from the welder, through the torch, through the material and back into the ground; the other flows in the opposite direction.
What is a electrical current that flows in one direction?
DC.
What is the difference altarnet current and direct current?
Direct current= flows in one direction ... AC flows in back and forward ..
What is the name of an electric current that flows in one direction?
That's a "direct" current.
What is unidirectional current?
the current which flows in only one specific direction is called as unidirectional current
In what circuit does the current flow in one direction and then in the opposite direction?
on a three way switch.alternating current.
What is true regarding DC current?
A DC current flows only in one direction.
Can a current flow in one direction in an alternating path?
With alternating current the current flows alternately one way and then the other.
What current flows in one direction while anther remains constant?
In one direction - or constant - is called direct current. The other sort is called alternating current.
