A direct current (DC) is the continuous flow of electric current that circulates in one direction and keep the same polarity (positive or negative).
Example of direct current are batteries and generators.
There are electronic devices, like computers, that work with direct current, but they require of some additions to convert alternating current to direct current.
What else can I help you with?
Where do you use direct currect?
An example of direct current is the current used from a car battery to activate the starter motor. Also the flashlight uses direct current.
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 do Power supply symbols mean?
For instance, there is the difference between -direct current- and -alternate current- For example: a simple battery gives direct current, e bicycle-dynamo generates alternate-current, so plus becomes minus and vice versa several times a second. A symbol for direct current can be: ____ - - - A symbol for alternate current is a small sine-wave: ~
Where can one find a definition for direct current?
One can find the definition of "direct current" from Google. If you don't wish to use the Internet, you can look it up in any dictionary. An example of a dictionary is Merriam-Webster.
Will a battery supply direct current or alternating current or ac?
direct current.
How many types of direct current and what is the frequency of direct current?
There is only one type of direct current and its 'frequency' is zero.
Which would make more shock the alternating current or direct current?
direct current
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Current that doesnt reverse direction is called?
direct current
Ac vs DC current?
DC (direct current) means the current flows only in one direction. In AC (alternating current), the current changes direction continuously (for example, 50 or 60 cycles per second).
What is a currnet?
Direct current is a flow of electricity which only goes one way. Batteries, for example, produce direct current, so the current must flow all the way through a circuit and back into the battery to work. Alternating current is what comes out of a wall outlet, and it alternates in both directions, with current flowing in and out of the outlet.
Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
