  • my question is? is the current flow from + to - in DC.What direction current flow in Ac?Can any body tell me thanks.

  • Current flow is + to - in AC and DC. The difference in AC is the + and - reverse very quickly, 50 or 60 times per second, so the current also reverses back and forth with that frequency.
