That would be alternating current or 'AC'.

What is current flowing in One Direction?

There is two types of current. Direct current and alternant current. The one running in only one direction is Direct current.


Direct current an electric current flowing in one direction only?

This is known as DC. Direct Current.


Why current flow in the opposite direction of flowing electron?

Electrons do not flow, but they might be though of as 'flowing' as they transfer charges between them. The reason that electron flow is the opposite direction from current is that historical theories of electrical flow (current) treated it as a movement of positive charges rather than negative charges.There is no actual difference that could be discerned, except that we now know that negative charges (electrons) constitute the basis of most common electricity.


Why the current is flowing in opposite direction in cables?

What is direct current stand for?

Direct current (DC) is nothing but an electric current flowing only in one direction.


What is the relationship between power and current flowing?

Strictly speaking, it's energy flow that has direction -the term 'power' merely describes the rate at which that energy is flowing. Having said that, however, the term 'power flow' is indeed used, but it must be understood that the term is really describing the 'rate at which energy is flowing'. There is no direct relationship between the direction of current and the direction of 'power'. For example, an alternating current is continually changing direction, while the resulting power flow acts continuously in the same direction. The reason for this is that current flow direction cannot be taken in isolation, as it must be considered together with the direction of the potential difference that is causing that current to flow. If we allocate positive and negative symbols to specify the direction of potential difference and current, where (for example) 'positive' defines a clockwise direction around the circuit, then the product of the two positive signs result in a positive direction for power flow direction. If we now reverse the direction of the potential difference and the current, their signs both become negative, and the product of two negatives is a positive -indicating that the power does not reverse direction, but continues in the same direction.
