The charged particle that flows through circuits is an electron.
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.
Two-way current is called alternating current (AC). In AC, the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction, unlike direct current (DC) where the flow of electric charge remains in one direction.
The opposition to the movement of charges flowing through a material is called resistance. It is a property that determines how strongly a material resists the flow of electric 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.
