What is the direction of the current?
Current flows from negative to positive for DC. AC the direction changes with the sinewave. eg. AC a frequency of 60Hz the direction changes 120 times.
What is current direction?
Outside the battery, it is negative to positive and inside the battery it is positive to negative.
A flow of electrons in a definite direction is called?
Current. Direct Current (D.C) if it is steady. Alternating Current (A. C) changes direction at a constant rate. The frequency for North American AC current from the power grid is 60 Hz, or 60 cycles per second. This would result in the direction of current changing 120 times per second.
Is alternating current a current type where electricity flows in the positive direction only?
Alternating current changes polarity 50 0r 60 times a second depending on the country you are in.
What is difference between positive current and negative current which current is used for generation of electricity?
Positive and negative are just directions. In AC the current changes direction 60 times a second. It is all the same.
What current changes direction?
Voltage
What does a surface current do when deflects?
When a surface current deflects, it changes direction.
What type of current never changes direction?
DC (direct current).
The rate at which a current changes direction is called its?
Ampere
What is the abbreviation for the type of current that continually changes direction?
alternating current (ac)
What is DC Energy?
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.

What is AC current?
An AC current (alternating current) is one that changes its direction continuously - typically at 50 or 60 Hertz (cycles per second).
What types of current changes direction repeatedly?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
What is variable alternating current?
A current which changes its direction of flow again and again is known as alternating current.
What type of electric current changes direction?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
What are the two kinds electricity?
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.

What does the term frequency mean in electricity?
That refers to AC (alternating current). A direct current flows only in one direction; an alternating current changes its direction all the time. The "frequency" refers to how often the current changes direction. It is expressed in hertz (Hz), which means the same as cycles/second.
