Question

How does the direction of the electric current, moving across a battery powered device, differ from the direction of travel in the AC current sent to homes and businesses?

Answer 1

Battery = Direct Current = one directional
AC = Alternating current = 2-directional

So in your house, current is flowing back in forth as the voltage varies through the sine wave. In a 60Hz AC system, a complete wave occurs every 1/60th of a second.
