What type of burn is a result of heat generated by the flow of electrical current through the body and is the most serious type?

An electrical burn occurs when the flow of electrical current through the body generates heat. It is the most serious type of burn due to internal tissue damage that may not be immediately visible on the skin's surface. Electrical burns can result in complications such as cardiac arrest, muscle damage, and nerve injury.

Which type of current we are using ac in automobiles?

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.
