What is it called when an electrical charge flows in one direction?
This is known as a direct current or D.C.
What is the purpose of a rectifier?
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction.
What current flows in one direction then the opposite direction?
AC, Alternating Current.
How many electrical energy are there?
You can classify electrical current according to different criteria. One important distinction is between DC (direct current - current flows in the same direction all the time), and AC (alternatic current - current changes direction continuously, typically 50 or 60 complete cycles per second).
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
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.
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 electric current in which current flows first in one direction and then another?
Alternating Current could fit this description in this question.
