Difference between Direct current and Electric locomotive

Direct current vs. Electric locomotive

Direct current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor.

Similarities between Direct current and Electric locomotive

Direct current and Electric locomotive have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alternating current, Commutator (electric), Electric battery, Rectifier, Solar power, Third rail, Thomas Edison.

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.

Commutator (electric)

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.
