sccurrent
sccurrent is a term that refers to the electric current flowing in a circuit that is designed to be supplied by a battery or other direct current source. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction. Direct current is characterized by a constant flow of electrons in one direction. Many electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and small appliances, rely on direct current to operate. Batteries produce direct current. Converting alternating current from the mains supply to direct current is a common function of power adapters and chargers. Understanding the difference between AC and DC is fundamental in electronics and electrical engineering. Direct current circuits are generally simpler to analyze than alternating current circuits due to the absence of phase shifts and reactive components.
