Does a dry cell battery produce alternating current or direct current?
directA dry cell battery produces DC.
Does a dry-cell battery produce the same current that a generator produces?
A dry cell produces direct current, which means that the current flows from one terminal of the dry cell to the other in one direction only. The word generator nowadays often means a device that produces alternating current, which is to say current that reverses its direction, usually at a fixed rate called the frequency. For instance, the current available in North American homes is alternating current at 60 cycles per second; it reverses direction 120 times per second. A machine that produces current that resembles what is available from a dry cell is often called a dynamo. These devices are similar to generators but with switches in them to change the alternating current to direct current, in effect. The current they produce is still not quite like that from a dry cell inasmuch as it's not perfectly 'smooth' continuous direct current. There's a ripple of slightly higher and lower current superimposed on the direct current. Please see the link, especially the graph associated with the Gramme dynamo.
What best describes a direct current?
The current produced by batteries is direct current. Electronic devices need direct current; in this case, they need a power supply (often built into the electronic device itself), that converts the alternating current, from the electric outlet, to direct current.
What is danial cell?
It is current producing cell .
What current is given in a cell?
direct current
Where do you find alternating and direct current?
alternative current Alternating current is produced by a type of generator called an alternator. Direct current is produces by a generator called a dynamo, or by rectifying altenating current, or solar panels, or cells and batteries.
What kind current is produced by a dry cell?
A dry cell produces direct current (DC) when a chemical reaction within the cell generates a flow of electrons in one direction. This current flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the cell.
What type of current do dry-cell batteries produce?
A Direct Current, DC.
What type of current does a dry-cell battery use?
It is DC or `direct current'.
What is the name of A cell or group of cells producing electrical current?
A cell or group of cells producing electrical current is called a battery. It generates electricity through a chemical reaction that releases electrons, creating a flow of electric charge.
Can a solar cell drive a motor directly?
No, a solar cell alone cannot drive a motor directly. The power generated by a solar cell is typically in the form of direct current (DC), which needs to be converted into alternating current (AC) or stored in a battery before it can be used to power a motor. A motor requires a stable and consistent power source which may require additional components to work efficiently with a solar cell.
Who invented the first electric cell?
The first electric cell was invented by Alessandro Volta in 1800. Volta's invention, called the voltaic pile, consisted of alternating disks of zinc and copper separated by layers of cardboard soaked in saltwater, producing a steady electric current. This invention laid the foundation for modern batteries.
