The voltage and current are delivered in a sine wave that goes positive and then negative at 60 cycles per second. Google sine wave to see what a sine wave looks like.

When electric current changes direction is called?

When electric current changes direction, it is called alternating current (AC).


Electric current changes direction repeatedly is called?

AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet


What is an electric current that periodically changes direction?

An electric current that periodically changes direction is called an alternating current (AC). In AC circuits, the flow of electric charge reverses direction many times per second, typically at a frequency of either 50 or 60 Hz. This is in contrast to a direct current (DC) in which the flow of electric charge remains constant in one direction.


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 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.
