Which device is used to convert AC current to DC current and DC current to AC current?

AC is Alternating Current where as DC is Direct Current. The current which drives to our home is Alternating Current and many of the appliances like Television, Microwave, etc works on alternating current. But some of the appliances works on direct current and hence it requires a device which can convert suitable amount of alternating current in to direct current and that device is known as Rectifier. Some appliances use both form of electricity AC as well as DC and hence both are important form in their own way.

Now we also want to know that what is the name of that device which is used to convert direct current into alternating current and that device is known as Inverter. Many people use inverter in their homes and it actually converts AC current to DC through rectifier and after that stores it in the form of DC and when we use inverter power then DC current is actually converted to AC and hence power our houses perfectly. So AC is converted to DC by Rectifier and DC is converted to AC through Inverter.
