What is the current called when electrons reverse regularly?
Alternating current aka AC.
What type of current is commonly most used in the home?
Alternating.
Loops of wire that turn in the magnetic field of an armature create?
alternating current
What is the continuous flow of electric charges?
electric current
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
What is the purpose of a magnetic field produced by charges in a current?
Depends whether Direct Current or Alternating Current. Only Alternating Current produces magnetic field.
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction what current is there?
When charges continually shift direction, alternating currents (AC) are present. AC involves charges oscillating back and forth in a circuit, with the direction changing periodically. This is different from direct current (DC), where charges flow consistently in one direction.
A current that charges direction and intensity at a regular interval of time is called?
alternating current (AC)
When charges shift from flowing one direction to another what current is there?
From your question it sounds like alternating current.
What is the purpose of a alternator?
A car alternator generates alternating current, then uses a rectifier to convert the alternating current to direct current, it charges your battery and supplies the current to run all the electrical systems in the car.
When charges shift from from flowing from one direction to another is what?
From your question it sounds like alternating current.
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction there is a what current?
Alternating current would fit this description.
Current that reverses direction in the regular pattern is called?
This is known as a direct current or DC. The two major types of currents are AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current). In AC the charges move back and forth, but in DC the charges flow in JUST ONE DIRECTION. Due to this characteristic it will not reverse direction like AC can.
In direct current charges carries have a drift velocity but in alternating current there is no net velocity of the charge carriers. Explain why?
In direct current the charge carries always flow in the same direction, while in alternating current they change direction repeatedly, meaning overall there is no net direction.
Why dc can be stored ac cannot stored?
Why direct current (DC) can be stored but alternating current(AC) can not be? Current means flow of charge per unit second. Any flow cannot be made stationary. Then it is not flow. Hence both direct current and alternating current cannot be stored. We can store only charges. In capacitors we store charges and not current. For storing we use direct supply or direct voltage When a capacitor is connected to a battery, which is a source of direct voltage, each plate of the condenser get charged. Charges remain in the plates. No current flows in between the plates. When the source is removed, there are some charges left in the plates. We say that charges are stored in the plates. If an alternating source of supply is connected in between the plates,every instant ,the charges in the plates are alternating and they are not stationary. When ac supply is removed, all the charges move out of the plates and hence no charge is left in them. Hence charges can be stored with dc supply and not with ac supply. However as long as the ac is connected to the capacitor, the capacitor gets stored and emptied with the frequency of the ac supply.
What is alternating current machine?
"What is alternating current machine?"
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction?
. . . then that would be alternating current, or simply, 'AC'.
