alleryThe current driven by an alternating voltage in a circuit is called:
AAlternating current
BAlternating charge
CAlternative currency
DAlternating channel
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Alternating current
1. A source whose voltage reverses periodically is an alternating one.
2. The current it drives takes its name from the source.
3. The current driven by an alternating voltage is called the alternating current.
4. So the answer is alternating current.
