What Does DC Stand For?

DC stands for Direct Current

DC, or Direct Current, refers to the unidirectional flow of electric charge, typically used in batteries and electronic devices. Unlike alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, DC maintains a constant voltage level over time. This stable flow makes DC essential for powering electronic circuits, charging devices, and in various industrial applications. Its efficiency and predictability are key advantages in modern technology.
