What type of current is produced in a electric battery?
Direct current (DC) is produced by an electric battery. This type of current flows consistently in one direction from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery.
Does a flashlight use a direct current of electricity?
Yes, all batteries provide direct current.
Why does batteries have direct current?
In direct current, the electric charges flow in the same direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC). current (AC). According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current A battery has two terminals- a positive and a negative.When a battery is in use, current flows from the positive terminal of the battery around the circuit back to the negative terminal in one direction. according to http://www.teachnet.ie/torourke/basics.htm
What type of electrical current does a battery produce?
A battery produces direct current (DC) because the flow of electric charge is unidirectional, from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically.
Why alternating current cannot be stored in battery?
Batteries store electrical energy in the form of chemical energy. Alternating current (AC) constantly changes direction, which makes it unsuitable for direct storage in a battery, which requires a constant flow of electrons in one direction to charge. However, AC can be converted to direct current (DC) before being stored in a battery.
Will a battery supply direct current or alternating current or ac?
direct current.
What type of electrical current does a notebook require and what device provides this current?
A notebook computer generally requires direct current. This current comes from a battery or a power supply. A battery converts chemicals into electricity, while a power supply or battery charger converts somewhat high voltage alternating current into lower voltage direct current.
What is DC in electric stand for?
Volts direct current eg battery As opossd to Vac wich is volts altinating current eg mains supply
Which type of current does a dc motor use?
dc stands for direct current. This can be obtained from a battery or a rectified ac (alternating current ) supply.
Does a battery deliver a direct or alternating current?
A battery delivers a source of direct current.
What supplies direct current?
device what produce dc are battrey genorators
Will a battery provide direct current or alternating currrent?
A battery provides direct current (DC).
What is difference between battery and mains electricity?
Mains supply provides alternative current while battery provides direct current.
Where is direct current now?
The battery in an automobile furnishes direct current.
Do generators supply direct current?
Yes. Alternators supply alternating current.
How is direct current stored in a battery?
Direct current is also used for other things. It is not used only to store in batteries. -------- A battery can only produce a potential difference between it's terminals, caused by chemical action. So this is Direct Current. The poles of the battery are permanently one positive (+) and one negative (-). To put power back into a battery, the voltage must match with the + and - terminals. If the voltage is reversed (as in an AC supply), then the charge will be removed from the battery instead of being added, at each half cycle. To charge a battery from an AC supply, it first has to be rectified. This can be done simply by passing the current through a rectifier, which will make sure that current of one potential only, will be passed on to the battery. Alternating current is normally produced by a mechanically rotating field, generated by turning a shaft with coils of wire mounted on it. Alternating current can also be produced electronically from a DC (battery) supply. This generally involves transistor switches, which vary the current to simulate an alternator. This device is known as an 'Inverter'.
Current from a battery is always?
Direct current, as opposed to alternating current.
