No, alternating current (AC) is a type of current in which the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction. It continuously changes magnitude and direction in a waveform pattern, unlike direct current (DC) which flows consistently in one direction.
Thomas Edison promoted direct current (DC) as the preferred method of electrical distribution. He believed DC was safer, cheaper, and more efficient than alternating current (AC) which was being championed by his rival, Nikola Tesla.
Outside the battery, it is negative to positive and inside the battery it is positive to negative.
The main division is between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). AC is universal now for domestic and industrial supply, but DC used to be used in some places in the early part of last century. Automobiles use DC at 12V which is I think universal now. AC in domestic use can be at 50Hz (Europe and many other places) or 60Hz (North America), and can be at either 240V or 120V.
Direct current (DC) is the type of current that flows in one direction continuously. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically. Examples of devices that operate using DC include batteries and solar cells.
No, that's 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. Direct current is used in batteries.
Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

Alternating Current which reverses its direction regularly at certain intervals Direct Current flowing continuously in one direction only
Alternating current is better than direct current for transmission.
Power lines carry electricity as alternating current.
Diode rectifier
DC stands for "direct current", AC for "alternating current". A direct current flows in a single direction; an alternating current changes its direction all the time, typicall 100 or 120 times a second (twice the frequency, which is measured in hertz).
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.
To convert direct current to alternating current you need either an inverter or a motor-generator set.
