MCQ
In alternating current.
- AThe direction of current is always positive
- BThe direction of current is always negative
- CThe direction of current changes constantly
- DThe direction of current is either positive or negative
✓
Answer
- The direction of current changes constantly
Explanation:
Electric charge in alternating current (AC) changes direction periodically. The voltage in AC circuits also periodically reverses because the current changes direction.
