Direct Current D.C. stands for direct current. Batteries supply d.c. With d.c. the current is always in travelling in the same direction. The current flows from negative ( - ) to positive ( + ) as the electrons are negatively charged and so are attracted towards the positive terminal of the battery. A direction of current

Alternating Current A.C. stands for alternating current. The mains supplies a.c. An a.c. current flows backwards and forwards in a circuit. The symbol for an a.c. power supply is The current in an a.c. circuit flows one way then the other alternately. A

AC and DC on an Oscilloscope A d.c. current on an oscilloscope A direct current 1. is always the same size 2. travels in only one direction

An alternating current on an oscilloscope An alternating current: 1. is always changing size 2. travels one way then the other alternately

The Mains Supply The mains supply is an a.c. source. An alternating current is a wave. The mains frequency is 50 Hz and the size of the mains voltage is quoted as 230 V. The declared value is a sort of average value and is always less than the peak value.
