Current in which electrons flow in the same direction is called?
It's alternating current
When electrons flow in one direction what is that called?
The electrons flows from negative to positive and then positive to negative.The pole of the flow of electron changes at a time interval.This is called alternating current (AC).
What device has the ability to change direct current to alternating current?
It's called an inverter.
The flow of electric charges is called?
The flow of electric charges is current.
Current that reverses direction in the regular pattern is called?
This is known as a direct current or DC. The two major types of currents are AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current). In AC the charges move back and forth, but in DC the charges flow in JUST ONE DIRECTION. Due to this characteristic it will not reverse direction like AC can.
Electric current changes direction repeatedly is called?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
What is an electric current that periodically changes direction?
There are two types of electric current, DC or direct current and AC or alternating current. The power delivery to homes in most places in the world is AC or alternating current. This is where the electrons are pushed one way then back the other way with usually 100 or 120 changes in direction per second. This produces 50 or 60 forward/back cycles every second called 50Hz or 60Hz.
What do you call a current that changes directions at a regular rate?
"alternating"
Current in which electrons flow in the same direction is called?
It's alternating current
What is the current called when electrons reverse regularly?
Alternating current aka AC.
Changing alternating current to direct current is called?
Rectification
What is the flow electric charges called?
It is called an electric current.
What is the current that reverse direction in a regular pattern called?
Alternating 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 the current called?
flow of charge
When electrons flow in one direction what is that called?
The electrons flows from negative to positive and then positive to negative.The pole of the flow of electron changes at a time interval.This is called alternating current (AC).
What is a continuous flow of electricity is called?
A current.
