Direct Current
Direct current explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're standing in a long line at a coffee shop, waiting your turn to order. Just like how the line only moves forward with each person stepping up to the counter, direct current (DC) flows in a single direction through a circuit. In this analogy, the people in line represent the electrons, and the forward movement of the line mirrors how the electrons in a DC circuit move steadily from the negative side to the positive side, ensuring a consistent, one-way flow of electric current.
Practice Version
Direct Current: Electric current that flows only in one direction. Direct current. Direct current DC is a type of electrical flow where the electric charge moves in a single, constant direction.
