It is not right. The actual flow is from - to +. For the vast majority of common electric devices, it simply doesn't matter. When physicists are theorizing, they need to know the true direction, and so reverse the circuit. Do a search on this, plenty of stuff will come up.
From what I understand, the electrons move through the wire, but the energy, which is a wave effect, travels outside its perimeter.
Like I said, current direction depends entirely on whether you're talking to an electrician or a physicist. Engineers are caught in the middle; they draw from convention, but in their mind they know it's all a lie.
It's rectified to flow in that direction.you can have it floe in other direction as ac dies .
That's right. Most cars nowadays have "alternators", which as the name suggests produce alternating current (some real old cars have DC generators). The AC is immediately rectified to DC by a commutator, the reason being that the car battery can only work with DC.
Visually ,I can't see the difference of an ac motor and dc,I have took both apart .the permanent magnets is used to create the need to turn the rotor as well.
Brush contact point,ac motors has thoseThe DC motor must have had one of these:
Nine diodes now on some ,but on the hybrid there's is no starter ,the flywheel is in the turbine of the electric motor and also if the gas engine takes over that charges the battery.cars do have brushless motors.but I stand corrected
I'm an electrician....I am paid to know this stuff and paid more because I do.
So your paid to fix cars? These do change,can't think that what you learned in the past will work now.I have seen that .correction a wye wound system 9 diodes.
I'm not a mechanic. I am an electrician and know the difference between a generator and an alternator.
I was talking about a car alternator. Genators have not been used in some time.though I have seem alternators in use as an engine brake to stop it as its shutting off.these have clutches that allow slip to a degree and a load placed on them to stop the engine .I have read somewherea toyota or some using a starter to remain engaged after working to boost battery charging .I'm not sure if they tried that.I have seen odd things ,electric thermostats,my ranger had that ,only opened two degrees earlier then it's prior year of the same engine .
