Question
A group of students sets up an electric circuit with wires, a battery, and a light bulb. Why is their circuit called a direct circuit? (1 point)
The circuit is complete, so electrons can flow freely.
The flow of electrons travels in one direction.
The electrons flow back and forth through the circuit.
The light bulb is directly connected to the battery.

The correct answer is: **The flow of electrons travels in one direction.**
In a direct current (DC) circuit, electrons flow consistently in a single direction, as opposed to alternating current (AC) where the flow of electrons changes direction periodically.
