By "alternative" I presume you mean "alternating". Yes it can by using a device called a rectifier then some sort of bypass circuit to conduct the alternating current to ground, usually just a capacitor.

What is the function of inverter?
It changes direct current (DC) to alternative (AC) energy.
Is batteries alternative current or directly current?
Batteries store DC, or Direct Current. The correct term for AC is Alternating Current.
How do you measure alternative current using ac ammeter?
I think you mean 'alternating' current ('alternative' means choice). The ammeter must be inserted in series with the load, just as with direct current.
What is one way that alternative current is more useful than direct current?
alternating current is easier to transfer long distances
How can I get power when building a rifle from scratch?
You can use direct or alternative current to get power when building a rifle from scratch.
Electricity that goes back and forth is called?
AC (alternative current) goes back and forth (the flow of the current changes periodically) DC (direct current) has a continuous flow
How is the wind energy source collected and turned into usable energy?
By using wind turbine, linear wind motion is turn to circular motion turning the dynamo and transformed to direct current electrical energy. Wind generated electricity from the wind turbine usually varied in current and voltage, the unsteady electricity is then pass through to regulator to a steady voltage and either transformed from a direct current (DC) to alternative current (AC) for use with home appliance or stock up into battery for later use.
Is alternating current more used than direct current?
As the name suggests, alternating current is an electrical alternative to the more direct current. but direct current only functions between 8am and 9pm (GMT), so at weekends all electrical appliances will revert to the alternative option, ie: the alternating current, because of the built-in crinkly chip Therefore if you calculate the number of hours in a week, since the commercial use of electricity, and compare it with the number of hours in a standard European weekend (taking into account the clocks going back and forward and hour, and the Earth's rotation) you will find the number of hours in a weekend is in fact greater than the number during the week, and therefore alternative is used more.
What is meant by alternative current?
Alternating current is more efficinent. It is wireless and more efficient than direct current. And it is safer. Plus Tesla is better than Edison
What is true about turbines in an hydroelectric dam?
Which statement is true about the turbine in a hydroelectric dam it would be It is turned by wind and provides a direct current.
What is the definition of AC-DC converter?
AC-DC converter such as a convertor by which we can convert alternative currents into direct current & its vice-versa. ...... anil allahabadi
What is difference between battery and mains electricity?
Mains supply provides alternative current while battery provides direct current.
