Difference between Commutator (electric) and Direct current

Commutator (electric) vs. Direct current

A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. Direct current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge.

Similarities between Commutator (electric) and Direct current

Commutator (electric) and Direct current have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alternating current, Alternator, André-Marie Ampère, Dynamo, Electric current, Hippolyte Pixii, Rectifier, Semiconductor, Switch.

Alternating current

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current (DC) which flows only in one direction.

Switch

In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can "make" or "break" an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another.
