SOLUTION
[summarize true points]

Which of the following is not a characteristic of alternating current (AC)?

An example power source is a generator

An example power source is a battery

Used to power your television

Electron flow periodically reverses direction

SOLUTION
Direct current and alternating current are the two forms of electrical current used to power modern devices. The characteristics of direct current (DC) include: electrons flow in only one consistent direction, an example power source is a battery, cannot easily travel distances without power loss, high voltage produces high current, has a straight waveform, used to power your cell phone. The characteristics of alternating current (AC) include: electron flow periodically reverses direction, an example power source is a generator, can easily travel distances without power loss, high voltage can produce low current, has a sine waveform, used to power your television.

Which of these materials is not a good conductor of electricity?

Carbon

Copper

Plaastic

Water

SOLUTION
In general, metals make the best conductors of electricity and non-metals make the worst conductors of electricity.

A rectifier:
Is used to multiply the voltage in a circuit

Converts a parallel circuit to a series circuit

Converts DC current to AC current

Converts AC current to DC current

SOLUTION
A rectifier converts AC current to DC current by allowing the AC current to flow in only one direction.
