The resistance is called impedance, and is equal to the measured voltage divided by the measured current, through Ohm's Law (V = ZI, Z = V/I).

The opposition to the flow of current in a circuit is called resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms and is represented by the symbol Ω.


When current in a circuit reverses its direction in a regular pattern it is called?

An "Alternating Current" (AC).


The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor?

In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.


Total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit with both resistance and reactance is called?

Impedance.


The total opposition to current in a series RC circuit is called?

Assuming you are talking about an AC circuit, then the total opposition to the flow of current in an R-C circuit is called its impedance (symbol: Z), measured in ohms. This is the vector sum of the circuit's resistance (R) and its capacitive reactance (XC) -each also measured in ohms.

The opposition of current is called?

"Opposition to current" can refer to resistance, reactance, or impedance.


What is the unit to measure the opposition to the flow of electrical current called?

Answer: Inductive reactance is the opposition to the change in current in an electrical circuit and is abbreviated Xl. Answer: The opposition to current flow is called resistance (for DC), or impedance (for AC; often just called resistance); the unit for both is the ohm.


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.
