Yes. The alternator outputs AC which is converted to DC which all electrical components run on.

Car electricity uses ac or DC?
DC
Is car power AC or DC?
DC
What do batterieshave to do with electricity?
They provide DC power or current to run dc products.
Does a car use DC or AC power?
the car use dc current dear
What is an alternator for?
The alternator generates power to run the car and charge the battery. An alternator in a vehicle generates Alternate Current (AC) instead of Direct Current (DC) electricity to power the vehicle.
What forces are use in a battery power saw?
DC electricity is the force here.
What doaes ac DC stand for?
The two forms of Electricity are AC and DC. AC Stands for Alernating Current and DC stands for Direct Current. AC electricity comes out of the Powerpoint that your computer is probably using and DC electricity is used in 5.1 voltage batteries that probably power your flashlight or toy.
Does a car run on AC or DC?
The power supply in most cars is DC. The alternator may produce AC power, but it is then run through a rectifier, providing DC power.
How many people still use DC electricity?
If you are talking about DC power line electricity, it is no longer used in homes or industry however many electric rail systems (e.g. trolley, highspeed trains) use DC electricity as DC motors have several advantages for motive power compared to AC motors. A few very long transmission power lines use DC electricity, but the DC is converted back to AC electricity before being distributed to customers. Certain industries (e.g. electroplating, aluminum refining) use DC internally, but they use large rectifiers to convert 3-phase AC to DC electricity when it enters the plant.If you are talking about electronic equipment (e.g. radios, computers, cell phones) these usually contain batteries. Everyone using battery powered electronics (or lighting, toys, cars, UPSs, etc.) uses DC electricity, because that is the way batteries provide electricity.Nearly everyone uses DC electricity, in battery powered devices.
How do you power the car in The Peaks Scribblenauts?
Electricity.
Is a car electrics dc or ac?
Car electrics use DC current. Based around the storage of electricity in a 12v battery. Modern vehicles charge the battery, and supply power when running, using an alternator. Although the alternator generates AC, for efficiency, it is converted to DC straight away, before being applied to the rest of the circuitry.
What is the difference between inverters and alternators?
To keep it simple, an alternator (like the one in a car) takes rotating mechanical energy and creates AC electricity. An inverter is usually just an electrical converter. It takes DC power (like the battery in a car, or camper) and produces AC electricity.
