A "generator" usually produces DC current. An "alternator" usually produces AC current. Older cars up to the 1960's used generators.
Newer cars use alternators (simpler design) with diode rectifiers to convert the AC to DC. Batteries are DC.
Some electronic circuitry (inverters) can change DC to AC.

What type of device is used to decrease or increase the voltage of an electric current?
In an alternating current circuit the voltage can be stepped up ordown efficiently with a transformer.

What type of current is in homes?
AC alternating current
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.
Which type of current does lightning has?
unfortunatley i cant tell for sure what you mean because of the lack of grammer (not insalting you) but if your asking wether it has direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) like i think you are than the answer is direct current (DC)
Which type of current is used with toaster?
Alternating
What is current that keeps changing direction?
Alternating current (AC) is a type of electric current that changes direction periodically. It is commonly used in household electricity systems because it allows for easy voltage transformation and long-distance transmission.
What type of electrical current does a battery produce?
A battery produces direct current (DC) because the flow of electric charge is unidirectional, from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically.
What is the abbreviation for the type of current that continually changes direction?
alternating current (ac)
What type of current is used to supply power to HVAC equipment?
Alternating current
