The Current in a automobile is DC, you have a battery which is dc, and your alternator produces ac current but converts it to DC inside the alternator unit which gives your battery DC power. So basically everything in your car is DC.
An ac adapter converts ac current into dc current through a rectifier, and a battery charger outputs dc current at an adjustable powerful charging rate and also converts ac current to dc current to charge different sizes of batteries.
Batteries can provide both AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) power, depending on the type of device they are connected to. However, most batteries themselves supply DC power. Devices that require AC power typically use an inverter to convert the battery's DC power into AC power.
Yes, a rheostat can be used with both AC and DC currents. The rheostat's variable resistor can be adjusted to control the current flowing through a circuit, regardless of whether it is AC or DC.
AC power sources are the adapter power sources. DC power sources are the direct power sources. DC stands for direct current, meaning it is a direct source of energy., and AC stands for alternating current, which means it is a secondary source of power.
In the filament of a light bulb in your home, you would typically find AC current since most household electricity is AC. In the headlight of an automobile, you would expect to find DC current, as cars typically use batteries that provide DC power for lighting systems.
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.
A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.
AC means alternating current DC means direct current there is no polarity reversal
Most automotive applications use DC, although the alternator is an AC device which uses a rectifier to produce DC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current
The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.
Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction. In AC (alternating current), the current regularly changes its direction.Perhaps you are referring to DC and AC? DC is direct current - current flows in a single direction.

A Rectifier converts Alternating current into Direct current
AC/DC is a rock band. Their name refers to "alternating current direct current.
Batteries by definition have to be DC. While u can convert DC to AC, with a device called an Inverter, none is built into a car battery. and chances are your car doesn't even have an Inverter anywhere in it. so car is DC. in addition modern cars use 12 volts, and for the record, AC and DC are not a "type of volt," they are types of current, (Direct Current, Alternating Current).
ac current
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
