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.

What type of electrical current is in most automobiles?
The typical automobile operates on DC (Direct Current) even though the typical alternator produces AC (Alternating Current) which is then converted to DC.
How can you block ac current?
You can block AC current by using a filter with a pass-band that is outside the frequency of the AC current.
What type of current is in homes?
AC alternating current
Which type of current does a transformer work with?
AC (alternating current)
What type of current is used in grinders?
AC
What is perhaps the single most important advantage of using AC compared to dc current?
AC current can be transmitted with less loss
Is it possible to get a battery to produce ac current?
No. Batteries can only produce dc current which can further be converted to AC using inverters.
What is the abbreviation for the type of current that continually changes direction?
alternating current (ac)
What is the significance of using inductor in ac circuit?
Current filtering
What type of electric current changes direction?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
Why you are using tor in alternator in automobiles?
The suffix "-tor" turns the word into an "agent noun" (for Latin and other Italic languages). Agent nouns designate a person/thing that perform a particular action. In this case, the action taking place is the altering of electrical current (AC); that which alternates the current is the alternator.
Can you amplify the AC in your data center using an AC transformer and how?
Yes, the AC current can be amplified by using Step-down transformers, but one problem is the AC voltage will decrease with Step-down transformer.
