Current that flows in one direction according to how the welder is set is referred to as

  1. Alternating Current

  2. Bi-directional Current

  3. Direct Current

  4. Static Current

The correct answer is: Alternating Current

The correct answer is "Alternating Current". In welding, when the current flows in one direction according to how the welder is set, it is known as Alternating Current (AC). AC changes direction periodically, which is different from Direct Current (DC) where the current flows consistently in one direction. Bi-directional Current and Static Current are not commonly used terms in the context of welding currents.
