1. Direct Current (DC): This is a unidirectional flow of electrons, meaning they travel in a single direction from a negative (-) terminal to a positive (+) terminal. Think of a battery - the electricity flows in one direction, powering devices like laptops, phones, and many electronic gadgets.
2. Alternating Current (AC): This is a bidirectional flow of electrons, meaning they constantly change direction. The electrons oscillate back and forth, driven by a changing magnetic field. This is the type of electricity that powers our homes and most appliances. AC is generated by power plants and is more efficient for long-distance transmission than DC.
