Current that reverses its direction of flow frequently is referred to as

  1. Alternate Direct Current

  2. Alternating Current

  3. Direct Current

  4. Inverse Current

The correct answer is: Alternate Direct Current

Alternating current (AC) is the current that reverses its direction of flow periodically or frequently. This is in contrast to direct current (DC), which flows consistently in one direction. Therefore, the correct answer is "Alternate Direct Current." Options C and D are not correct because direct current flows in one constant direction, while inverse current is not a standard term in electrical engineering. Therefore, the correct term for current that changes direction frequently is Alternating Current (AC).
