A: Direct current is current that does not passes trough a zero potential at any time and it can flow into +/- direction but never reverse itself. If it does then it becomes alternating current or AC

"Direct current" refers to a current that flows only in one direction - as opposed to "alternating current" which constantly changes direction, usually several times a second.

What is meant by negative half-cycle of an alternating current?

Alternating current varies in magnitude, and reverses direction every half-cycle. When the current is drifting in one direction we allocate it a 'positive' direction; when it reverses direction we allocate it a 'negative' direction. So the positive half-cycle refers to its variation in current during its forward or positive direction and the negative half-cycle refers to its variation in current during its reverse or negative direction.
