ANSWER
Direct current (DC) is the function of having a constantdifference in potential at opposite ends of an electrical circuit. An electrical circuit is any configuration that allows electrical current to flow across any point within the circuit.
There is a phenomenon known as Galvanic Action. This occurs when a pair of conductors made from different materials makes contact. At the point of contact, the junction, there is a minuscule difference in potential between the two different materials. These potential differences are measured in micro-volts. These potential differences exist because every material, at rest, has a particular energy level unique to that material. Since there is a difference in energy level between any two materials, there exists an electrical potential difference between them as well.
Only in conductors can electrical current flow freely. Electrical current flow is electron flow between atoms in a conductive material. Any material will conduct electricity given a high enough potential difference across the material. Gold, Silver, and Copper, are three examples of high conductivity materials, or good conductors. It takes a minuscule difference in potential to get electron flow within these materials. Plastic, glass, and porcelain are three examples of no conductivity materials, or good insulators. It takes an excessive difference in potential to break these materials down in order to get electron flow within these materials.
Plastic is a relatively good insulator because it takes a considerable amount of potential difference (voltage) across the material to get electron flow within the material. This makes plastic a good insulator and this is why it is found in many electrical circuits. Porcelain is an insulator used in high voltage circuits. These are the long suspension devices used to hang high tension power cables you see on towers that deliver power between cities.
I hope this makes some sense. This explanation could go on for a very long time.
