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 flowing in One Direction?
There is two types of current. Direct current and alternant current. The one running in only one direction is Direct current.
What direction does current flown an ac circuit?
We have suppose the current flow in opposite to the direction of flow of electron.AnswerA.C. current reverses direction every half-cycle.
In induction motor the will the direction of the rotor will be in the direction of the current?
The direction an induction motor will turn depends upon the direction of the rotating field setup by the winding. Remember in AC the direction of the current reverses itself 120 times every second for a 60 hz system. So no it will not turn in the "direction" of the current.
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction what current is there?
It is called an alternating current
What is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction called?
A Direct Current or DC direct current is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction.
What current flows in one direction then the opposite direction?
AC, Alternating Current.
When the flow of a current is aways in one direction?
When the flow of current is aways in one direction it is known as direct current.
The direction of a magnetic field produced by an electric current depends on the direction of the what?
Flow of the current.
The what of an electromagnet is determined by the direction of current flow?
The electromagnet (polarity) is determined by the direction of current.
What is current flowing in One Direction?
There is two types of current. Direct current and alternant current. The one running in only one direction is Direct current.
What direction does current flown an ac circuit?
We have suppose the current flow in opposite to the direction of flow of electron.AnswerA.C. current reverses direction every half-cycle.
Current that does not reverse direction?
direct current
In what circuit does the current flow in one direction and then in the opposite direction?
on a three way switch.alternating current.
Which law gives the direction of induced current?
LENZ LAW gives the direction of induced current.
Which is the Direction of the current in resistor?
A resistor is bi-directional meaning current can flow in either direction. Current flows from positive to negative.
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.
How can you reverse the direction of the magnetic field in a wire produced by an electric current?
You can reverse the direction of the magnetic field by reversing the direction of the electrical current.
