Solution

The statement that is true of direct current electricity is: "It only flows in one direction."

Direct current (DC) is a type of electrical current that only flows in one direction. Unlike alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically, DC always flows in the same direction. This is why it is called "direct" current.

The other statements are not true for direct current electricity. Most power stations generate alternating current, not direct current. The direction of flow in DC does not alternate, it remains constant. And like all types of electricity, DC does require a conductive material to flow.

A flow of positive charges gives the same electric current, and has the same effect in a circuit, as an equal flow of negative charges in the opposite direction. Since current can be the flow of either positive or negative charges, or both, a convention is needed for the direction of current that is independent of the type of charge carriers. Negatively charged carriers, such as the electrons (the charge carriers in metal wires and many other electronic circuit components), therefore flow in the opposite direction of conventional current flow in an electrical circuit.[16][17]
