A Direct Current
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
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).
AC, Alternating Current.
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
It's alternating current
Rectification
Rectification is the process of converting alternating current into direct current. The smoothest power supply is a 'switched mode' supply.
In order to induce voltage as an output, a changing magnetic field is needed. To create a changing magnetic field in the transformer a changing current and that is an alternating current.
Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current that changes direction periodically. It is commonly used in household electricity systems because it allows for easy voltage transformation and long-distance transmission.
This depends upon the application. For most home appliances and industrial machinery, alternating current is the best electric current. In most computer electronics, alternating current must be converted into direct current.
DC is direct current, a steady current supplied from a steady voltage. AC is alternating current changing like a sine-wave positive and negative, with the advantage that it can be changed by transformers. DC can be derived from AC by rectification and smoothing circuits, which are built into equipments which draw their power (AC) from public electricity suppliers.
The type of diode used to convert alternating current in to direct current is the power diode.
using a rectifier, which converts the AC signal into a pulsating DC signal, and then using a filter to smooth out the pulsations in the signal, resulting in a steady DC output.

Alternating current creates an electromagnetic field through the flow of electric charge that changes direction periodically. This changing current induces a changing magnetic field, which in turn generates an electromagnetic field around the conductor.
Alternating current is generated by a rotating generator which moves in such a way as to produce that kind of current.
No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.
