Because you want the deposited metal to stick onto the base metal that you are electroplating, i.e. the ions flow from one electrode to the other. and for that, the flow of the current has to be in a single direction, as it is in DC. in AC, the flow alternates periodically, and you will not have any deposition at all as the ions may just go back and forth.
Direct current, as opposed to alternating current.
Alternating current changes direction on a set frequency such as 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz. Direct current always flows in one direction.
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
No. Transformers always operate only on alternating current. They will burn up on direct current. That is, if the fuse does not blow first.
Direct current, as opposed to alternating current.
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Alternating current changes direction on a set frequency such as 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz. Direct current always flows in one direction.
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
No. Transformers always operate only on alternating current. They will burn up on direct current. That is, if the fuse does not blow first.
