Have been searching for answer to this question for some time:
Why is DC called so? Surely the first experimenters with static and galvanic and battery electricity didn't use that term. A distinction was necessary, or useful, only when AC was discovered. Therefore, why was not battery electric flow called "regular", basic","steady", or some such? What does "direct" describe?
