Is your house alternating or direct current?

Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.


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 current that keeps changing direction?

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.

How does a device convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC)?

A device called an inverter is used to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The inverter switches the direction of the current flow at a rapid rate, creating an alternating current output from the direct current input.
