Because alternating current can be run through a transformer to step up or down the voltage. High voltage current incurs lower losses in transmission.

Yes. Alternators supply alternating current.
AC generators, powerplants etc produce alternating currents.
The electric current supplied to most homes is alternating current (AC).
Moving a magnet in and out of a coil of wire induces an electric current in the wire. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction and is the basis for how generators produce electricity.
An electric stove uses Alternating Current to operate.
Alternating Current is measured in Amperes.
