A circuit carrying current in one direction is called a?
A circuit carrying current in one direction is called a direct current (DC) circuit. In a DC circuit, the flow of electric charge is constant and does not change direction. This is in contrast to an alternating current (AC) circuit, where the flow of electric charge changes direction periodically. DC circuits are commonly used in electronics and power transmission systems.
Current in which electrons flow in the same direction is called?
It's alternating current
Which is a device that automatically swihes off when there is an excessive current in a circuit?
A device that automatically switches off when there is excessive current in a circuit is called a circuit breaker. It is designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. When the current exceeds a predetermined threshold, the circuit breaker trips, interrupting the flow of electricity and preventing potential hazards such as fires or equipment damage. Circuit breakers can be reset manually after they trip, allowing the circuit to be re-energized safely.
A device that protects a circuit from current overload is called?
Fuses or circuit breakers are termed 'overcurrent protection devices', which protect circuits from either an overload current or a short-circuit current.
What is the difference between DC and AC?
The primary difference between DC and AC is the direction of current flow. In a DC circuit, all electron current flow is in one direction. In an AC circuit, current flows in one direction for part of the time, and in another direction for another part of the time. In the AC circuit, we'll see current flowing "back and forth" instead of the unidirectional current flow we find in a DC circuit.DC is "Direct Current", and AC is "Alternating Current". In DC, the current flow is in one direction only. In AC, the current flow is constantly changing direction.An example of DC is the output of a battery. An example of AC is the power present in a home electrical system.The current whose magnitude and direction remains change called as alternating current.The current whose magnitude and direction remain unchanged called as d.c. Current.

When current in a circuit reverses its direction in a regular pattern it is called?
An "Alternating Current" (AC).
The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
The total opposition to an alternating current presented by a circuit is called a?
impedance
An opposition to current flow that occurs in alternating current circuits is called?
Capacitive reactance.
Can alternative current be turned into direct current?
By "alternative" I presume you mean "alternating". Yes it can by using a device called a rectifier then some sort of bypass circuit to conduct the alternating current to ground, usually just a capacitor.
What is the current and how is it measured in electrical circuits?
The current in electrical circuits is the flow of electric charge. It is measured in amperes (A) using a device called an ammeter. The ammeter is connected in series with the circuit to measure the current passing through it.
Is there a polarity in an alternating current circuits?
Yes, there is a polarity in an alternating current (AC) circuit, but it constantly changes direction. In an AC circuit, the current flow reverses direction periodically, typically 50 or 60 times per second depending on the frequency of the power source. This changing polarity allows the current to flow back and forth, enabling the transmission of electrical energy over long distances efficiently.
What is the current called?
The flow of electrical charge is called current. It is measured in units called amperes (A) and represents the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit.
Is the continuous flow of charge in a circuit called direct current?
No, the continuous flow of charge in a circuit is called electric current. Direct current (DC) refers to the flow of electric charge in a single direction, whereas alternating current (AC) changes direction periodically.
What converts an alternating current to diredt current?
Alternating Current can be converted to Direct Current by using a DC Converter which contain a Bridge Circuit , a Capacitor and if needed a Transformer.CommentA 'DC converter' is normally called a rectifier.
Is electric circuit also called series circuit?
The 2 simplest Electrical circuits areSeries Circuit - Same amount of current running through loads but voltage various by the resistance of the loadsParallel Circuit - Same voltage on the different loads by subject to the load resistance, the current passing through is different
