The typical automobile operates on DC (Direct Current) even though the typical alternator produces AC (Alternating Current) which is then converted to DC.
12V DC
The electrical grid distributes alternating current(AC).
That sounds like a description of a typical electrical current. Please note that an electrical current can have charge carriers other than electrons, but electrons are the most typical case.
It is alternating current (AC) that is transmitted between electrical pylons.
Alternating current.
AC, alternating current is used to power electrical outlets in the U.S..

The only type of current used by automobiles is dc current although the alternator produces ac current which is converted to dc by rectifiers built into the alternator. Even the alternator is controlled by dc current though through the use of a voltage regulator which limits the amount of negative dc sent to the stator and positive dc current sent to the rotor of the alternator which limits the EMF.
Alternating electrical current is usually used in household.
A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit that has more than one current branch.
