Question

Explain how the flow of electricity differs in a battery from the type of current in a home.

Answer 1

The electricity from battery is DC and current used in home is AC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct current or widely known as DC is the outcome of chemical reactions in a battery cell. It has the following characteristics

• Magnitude of Voltage is constant

• Magnitude of current is constant

• Current flows in one direction

• Cannot create larger voltage easily

The alternating current, also known as AC, is generated by the rotating rods in a magnetic field. It has the following characteristics

• Magnitude of the voltage varies

• Magnitude of current varies

• Current can flow both directions

• Can generate higher voltage easily

Answer 2

Battery power is DC or direct current. The electrical charge only flows in one direction.

The type of current in a home is AC or alternating current. The electrical charge in AC changes direction periodically. It voltage also changes in reverse in response to the periodic change of direction made by the electrical charges.
