A direct current (DC) is a flow of charges around a circuit in the same direction all the time.

  • Batteries supply DC and most appliances need DC to function.

 

Alternating current (AC) is a flow of charges around a circuit that reverses its direction at regular intervals, usually many times a second.

  • Household electrical power is supplied in the form of AC which usually needs to be rectified to DC before use.

  1. It could be better if you could add some more information about certain topics. Most of the information is just the basic. You could also add some questions and answer explanations
