∙ 12y agoIn alternating current (AC or ac) the movement of electric charge periodically reverses direction. Different from direct current (DC), the flow of electric charge is only in one direction.

What is meant by drift current in diode?
when ever the external voltage is given the movement of charge carriers produce a current i.e drift current
How parallel and series circuit different?
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
What is use of metering core in transformer bushing?
It is the current transformer core meant for metering.
In parallel circuit there are several paths for the current to take?
No. By definition, a parallel circuit occurs when there is more than one alternative path.
What is meant by Generator P.f?
the cosine of the angle between voltage and current of generator is called power factor (pf) of generator.
What is meant by the term BCE?
BCE is the abbreviation for Before the Common/Current/Christian Era (an alternative to Before Christ, abbreviated BC).** quoted from wikipedia.org
What is the PC-PBX meant for?
It is an alternative to the traditional PBX
How do you measure alternative current using ac ammeter?
I think you mean 'alternating' current ('alternative' means choice). The ammeter must be inserted in series with the load, just as with direct current.
What protocol is meant to be a secure alternative to Telnet?
ssh
Is batteries alternative current or directly current?
Batteries store DC, or Direct Current. The correct term for AC is Alternating Current.
Can alternative current be turned into direct current?
By "alternative" I presume you mean "alternating". Yes it can by using a device called a rectifier then some sort of bypass circuit to conduct the alternating current to ground, usually just a capacitor.
What type of electrical current does a television set run on?
alternative
What is one way that alternative current is more useful than direct current?
alternating current is easier to transfer long distances
What is meant by the term resistance?
What is meant by the term resistivity?
What is the alternative to R12 freon?
R134a is the current alternative to R12. I have found Freeze12 put out by AutoRefrigerants.com. They say no retro-fitting is needed.
What is meant by the term fusing current?
Fusing current for a wire is the current at which the wire will act like a fuse (melt).
What is the function of inverter?
It changes direct current (DC) to alternative (AC) energy.
