9.1 SOURCES OF DIRECT CURRENT
We are familiar with cells used in a torch to light,
up its bulb, The cells are the source of direct current
(abbreviated as dc) which
current flows from the positive terminal of the cell to
its negative terminal through the bulb of the torch
(Fig. 9.1). The magnitude of current given by a cell
remains constant for a sufficiently long time. When the
cell gets discharged, it stops giving current and becomes
useless. We can define direct current (d.c.) as follows:
frect current (d.c.) is a current of constant
magnitude flowing in one direction.
