Why is electroplating always done with direct current rather than with alternating current?
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.
What else can I help you with?
Current from a battery is always?
Direct current, as opposed to alternating current.
Compare alternating current with direct 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.
Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Lightning carries Alternating current or Direct Current?
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
Will a bell ringing transformer operate on direct 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.

Which is better for transmission alternating current and direct current?
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Lightning carries Alternating current or Direct Current?
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
What converts direct current to alternating current?
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
Will a bell ringing transformer operate on direct current?

Will a battery supply direct current or alternating current or ac?

Was direct current or alternating current first?
direct came first
How does alternating current and direct current affect heating ventilation and airconditioning?
