A voltaic cell produces DC (Direct Current).
Here's a breakdown:
- Direct Current (DC): Electric current that flows in one direction. According to the reference, voltaic cells, dry cells, and batteries are sources of DC.
- Alternating Current (AC): Electric current that periodically reverses direction and changes in magnitude with time.
| Feature | Direct Current (DC) | Alternating Current (AC) |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | One direction | Reverses periodically |
| Source Examples | Voltaic cell, battery | Power grid |
Therefore, since a voltaic cell provides current that flows in only one direction, it's a DC source.
