When you connect a load (motor, light bulb, etc.) in series with a power supply, current will flow, whether AC or DC depends on the power supply you are using.

What is the direction of DC current flow in a circuit?

In a circuit, DC current flows from the positive terminal of the power source to the negative terminal.


What is charged by having a one way current flow through it?

A battery is charged by having a DC current flow through it.


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.


Are there places that transmit DC electricity?

Yes. There is a DC interconnector between England and France, allowing power to flow back and forth depending on demand.


Can you convert a DC motor to run on AC?

The easiest way would be to convert the AC power to DC by using a rectifier diode and a filter capacitor. In that way you can now run your DC motor on DC.


What is two way current called?

Two-way current is called alternating current (AC). In AC, the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction, unlike direct current (DC) where the flow of electric charge remains in one direction.


What electricity will let battery and light bulb flow?

Direct current (DC) electricity is the type of electricity that will flow from a battery to power a light bulb since batteries provide DC power. Alternating current (AC) electricity, found in most wall outlets, typically can't directly power a light bulb from a battery without a converter or inverter.


When discussing electrical current what does DC stands for?

When discussing electrical current, DC stands for Direct Current (a current where the electron flow in the wires goes only one way)


What is AC load flow?

DC load flow is a method to estimate power flows through lines on AC power systems. An accurate solution of the power flows on an AC system is a non-linear problem. Consequently it requires an iterative approach and there is no guarantee of reaching a "convergent" solution. A "DC" load flow uses a simplified, linear form of modeling the AC system. Consequently its solution is non-iterative, and absolutely convergent. It becomes a routine algebra problem, solving multiple equations with multiple variables. It is inherently less accurate than a "full" AC load flow solution, but it is useful where fast, dependable solutions are essential, and the approximation is acceptable. In reality, there is nothing "DC" about a DC load flow. It solves for phase angles (an AC, reactive characteristic); it ignores resistance (a DC characteristic); and it ignores voltage (because the objective is just power flow). It probably derives its name from the similarity between this solution method and the method used to solve a DC system, which is also linear, non-iterative and absolutely convergent.


What are some properties of germanium?

Germanium has the ability to operate as a diode, only allowing DC current to flow one way.


What current does a capacitor pass?

ac power (alternating current) it blocks dc power Many people will say a capacitor can't pass current because they consider Electric current to be the flow of electrons but that's not necessarily the case. In a capacitor current is passed by the building up and dropping of an electric field. DC does not flow for long of course.
