Final answer:

In direct current, charges flow in a single direction, while in alternating current, charges change direction periodically.


Step-by-step explanation:

In direct current (DC), the charges flow in a single direction, from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. The flow of charges remains constant in one direction.

In alternating current (AC), the charges change direction periodically. The charges flow back and forth, changing their direction periodically. The current reverses its direction multiple times per second, typically in a sinusoidal pattern, resulting in a continuous change in the direction of charges.

So, the statement 'In direct current, the charges keep flowing in the reverse direction' is false and the statement 'In alternating current, the charges keep the same direction' is also false.
