It makes AC ( alternating current ) . That's why it's called an alternator. A DC generator would usually be called a dynamo.

Does an alternator work similar to an ac generator?
Alternator and ac generator is equal
What kind of electricity used for LCD and LED means ac or dc?
LCDs are driven with AC, to prevent electrolytic damage to the thin transparent electrodes. LEDs are driven with DC.
How many types of AC generator are there?
Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.
Can an alternator at 200rpm make 5kv electricity?
Emf (voltage) =2p phi N Z divided by 60c p= no of pairs of poles phi = flux N =speed (rpm) Z = can't remember c = no. of parralel paths if you can make the values of the other parts of the formula such that the result is 5 kv your on this is initially a dc generator but can be made to apply to ac
What is the function of a rectifier within an alternator?
A rectifier turns the Alternating Current (AC) produced by the Alternator into Direct Current (DC) that your car uses.
Can an ac motor generate electricity?
An ac motor cannot generate electricity but its shaft can be coupled to that of certain devices like an alternator to in order to generate electricity.
What kind of electricity is produced by a car?
the alternator produces a 3 phase AC electrical current that is "converted" into a single phase DC electrical current. This is done courtesy of the diode trio located in the regulator assembly of the alternator. typical output of an alternator is about 14 v DC and about .1 V AC.
Which device is use to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy?
Alternator = AC electricity Generator = DC electricity
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 kind of electricity used to power appliances and machines?
AC
A kind of electricity used in our home?
60 cycle AC
Is car electricity DC power?
Yes. The alternator outputs AC which is converted to DC which all electrical components run on.
What kind of electricity changes the direction in which it flows?
AC, ALTERNATING current
What kind of electricity is commonly used today?
AC, or alternating current.
Does an alternator work similar to an ac generator?
Alternator and ac generator is equal
Alternator generates DC or AC?
An alternator produces AC current but it is converted to DC by the rectifier inside the alternator.
A form of energy that people make is called?
alternating current electricity, or AC current, or AC.
