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.

What else can I help you with?
Does a flashlight use a direct current of electricity?
Yes, all batteries provide direct current.
What is a direct currnet?
Direct current is a flow of electricity which only goes one way. Batteries, for example, produce direct current, so the current must flow all the way through a circuit and back into the battery to work. Alternating current is what comes out of a wall outlet, and it alternates in both directions, with current flowing in and out of the outlet.
Which current flows in one direction only?
Direct current (DC) this is produced by for example batteries. AC alternating current changes direction on a cyclical basis and is used in power distribution and what "comes out" of the power sockets in the home.
What is the 2 kind of electricity?
The two main types of electricity are direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). DC flows in one direction and is commonly used in batteries, while AC changes direction periodically and is used in most household and industrial applications.
Which type of current involves charge flow in single direction?
Direct current (DC) involves the flow of electric charge in one direction. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which periodically changes direction. Devices that require a consistent and unidirectional flow of electricity, such as batteries and most electronic devices, use DC.
How are batteries a source of direct current?
Batteries are a source of direct current because they product power (voltage and current) in only one direction.
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
What is the simplest source of direct current?
Simple source of direct current are Batteries.
Is batteries alternative current or directly current?
Batteries store DC, or Direct Current. The correct term for AC is Alternating Current.
Is the electricity from batteries AC or DC?
Direct current
What type of electricity is found in batteries?
direct current
Do batteries provide directing current?
Not directing current but DIRECT current, meaning there is no oscillation in the current.
What electricity do you get from batteries?
DC (direct current, a current that flows in a single direction).
What type of current do dry-cell batteries produce?
A Direct Current, DC.
The electricity you get from batteries and generators is called?
Batteries and generators provide DC, Direct Current electricity.
What is direct current used for?
These things use dc: batteries provide direct current, so anything run by batteries; electrolysis, used for electroplating, aluminium manufacture and the production of sodium hydroxide.
Which type of current is used in batteries and which is used in household outlets?
Batteries provide Direct Current (DC) while household outlets provide Alternating Current (AC).
