When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction what current is there?
It is called an alternating current
The change from negative to positive and from positive to negative in an alternating current?
Is called AC voltage or current.
What is a flow of a charged particle called?
The charged particle that flows through circuits is an electron.
How electricity travels through power cords?
It's called Alternating Current (AC) as opposed to Direct Current (DC/batteries).
Where do you find alternating and direct current?
alternative current Alternating current is produced by a type of generator called an alternator. Direct current is produces by a generator called a dynamo, or by rectifying altenating current, or solar panels, or cells and batteries.
The total opposition to an alternating current presented by a circuit is called a?
impedance
The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
What is a device that moves an alternating current from one circuit to one or more other circuits called?
Transferrer
Is there a polarity in an alternating current circuits?
Yes and it reverses many times every second, how many times it does this is called its frequency.
What is an opposition to current flow called that occurs in an alternating current circuit?
The resistance is called impedance, and is equal to the measured voltage divided by the measured current, through Ohm's Law (V = ZI, Z = V/I).
The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor?
In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.
What do you call a current that changes directions at a regular rate?
"alternating"
The opposition of current is called?
"Opposition to current" can refer to resistance, reactance, or impedance.
Current in which electrons flow in the same direction is called?
It's alternating current
What is the current called when electrons reverse regularly?
Alternating current aka AC.
Electric current changes direction repeatedly is called?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
Changing alternating current to direct current is called?
Rectification
