What is unidirectional current?

the current which flows in only one specific direction is called as unidirectional current


Electric current changes direction repeatedly is called?

AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet


What is the difference between rectifier diode and zener diode?

A: They are both diodes. The difference lies in the application. A rectifier is used to rectify AC current into pulsating current. The zener diode is used to regulate a voltage source to the zener voltage when connected in the reverse direction. ************************************************************** If you look at the characteristic curves of a rectifier diode and a zener diode, you will see that they are similar, but the reverse curve of the zener has a much sharper bend at what is called the "knee". It is at this point on the zener's curve at which it operates.


What is forward bias current in semiconductor?

I think its related to junction of two dissimilar semiconductor (or semiconductor and metal) and not only a semiconductor. well when two opposite nature semiconductor (hetero or homo) are joined to form a junctions they allow the flow of current in one direction while blocks it in other direction. The applied bias V which will cause the current flow is called forward bias and the current flowing through the junction forward bias current.


What does the dot on a current transformer mean?

There is a method called dot convention which is used in transformers. the dot shows the direction of current flowing through the coil and whether the value of mutual inductance thus produced will be positive or negative.

What is a electric current that's changes direction called?

An electric current that changes direction is called an alternating current (AC). In an AC circuit, the flow of electrons changes direction periodically, typically at a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. This is in contrast to direct current (DC), where the flow of electrons is constant in one direction.


The rate at which a current changes direction is called its?

Ampere


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 material conducts electric current poorly?

A material that conducts electric current poorly is an insulator. Insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity due to their tightly bound electrons, which do not move easily. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, and glass.
