Unlike alternating current, its direct current flow. the flow begins at the negative side and goes back to the positive side of the voltage source.

A DC current flows only in one direction.


What is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction called?

A current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction is called direct current (DC). In DC, electrons flow continuously in one direction from the negative to the positive terminal of a power source.

What kind of currents has only one way to travel?

In DC circuits the current travels only in one direction.


Well you can say that the frequency of DC is constant or not?

Yes it is constant at Zero Frequency. No, DC or Direct Current only means that the current only goes one direction, but it can have a frequency. You can have a square wave, sawtooth wave or sine wave that never goes from positive to negative or negative to positive and it would be a direct current with a frequency.


Why semiconductors work on DC only?

the NP or PN junction only allows current to flow in one direction (think diode), therefor DC would be the only energy capable


Direct current an electric current flowing in one direction only?

This is known as DC. Direct Current.


Why is there a difference between dc pass through and bidirectional with coaxial splitters?

A DC pass through will pass a DC voltage in only one direction. Bidirectional will let a DC voltage travel both directions.


What is direct current stand for?

Direct current (DC) is nothing but an electric current flowing only in one direction.


What does the retifier on gators do?

Assuming you mean "rectifier", a rectifier is an electrical device that converts AC, which periodically reverses direction, to DC, which flows in only one direction.


Which current flows in one direction only?

Direct current (DC) this is produced by for example batteries. AC alternating current changes direction on a cyclical basis and is used in power distribution and what "comes out" of the power sockets in the home.


What is current flowing in One Direction?

Direct current (DC) is the type of current that flows in one direction continuously. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically. Examples of devices that operate using DC include batteries and solar cells.
