AC DC currents flowing in wires1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00Conceptual animation illustrating the difference between AC and DC.
The top wire carries a continuous direct current (DC). The bottom wire carries an alternating current (AC). The blue glows represent the magnetic fields arising from the moving charge...PT32Shttps://d38zjy0x98992m.cloudfront.net/8a8909c8-8d0f-44f6-93b4-184063e8de53/AC_DC_Paralell_wires_32s_265_xlarge.jpghttps://d38zjy0x98992m.cloudfront.net/8a8909c8-8d0f-44f6-93b4-184063e8de53/AC_DC_Paralell_wires_32s_265_mp4_hd_video.mp4https://www.scientific.pictures/-/galleries/physics/-/medias/8a8909c8-8d0f-44f6-93b4-184063e8de53/pricehttps://www.scientific.pictures/-/galleries/physics/-/medias/8a8909c8-8d0f-44f6-93b4-184063e8de53/price
DC current flowing creating magnetic fields
A loop of wire carries a current, shown as a train of glowing electrons. Each moving electron generates a magnetic field shown as concentric blue circles. The overall effect is to create a magnetic field around the wire. If this wire loop is placed inside an external magnetic field, then magnetic repulsion will put forces on the loop. Such forces are the starting point for electric motors.

AC / DC current flow and magnetic fields1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00A simple circuit carries electrons (glowing balls). As the electrons move, they generate a magnetic field (blue glow). The battery produces a smooth and continuous flow (DC, or direct current). The AC generator (off the screen to the top) alternates, c...PT28Shttps://d38zjy0x98992m.cloudfront.net/2d13453e-130f-4e58-81f8-7e3fec1dcb1d/AC_DC_28s_265_xlarge.jpghttps://d38zjy0x98992m.cloudfront.net/2d13453e-130f-4e58-81f8-7e3fec1dcb1d/AC_DC_28s_265_mp4_hd_video.mp4https://www.scientific.pictures/-/galleries/physics/-/medias/2d13453e-130f-4e58-81f8-7e3fec1dcb1d/pricehttps://www.scientific.pictures/-/galleries/physics/-/medias/2d13453e-130f-4e58-81f8-7e3fec1dcb1d/price
