AC and DC
Be it AC or DC any device who's nameplate reads 10 volts.
By a DC power supply that runs at 230 volts AC. Basically, you need a full wave rectifier (4 diodes) to convert AC into all positive voltage. Then you need capacitors to smooth out the ripple and then various resistors to reduce the voltage.
Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.
Motors work on both DC and AC. It depends on their design.
the answer is dc volts are rectified from ac volts and the amperage will be the same unless you account for the slight drop from the rectifier. dc volts from a battery have no relationship to ac volts. you can derive ac volts from a dc source using an inverter.
Because alternating current (AC) voltage varies over time, to the positive and negative, an actual AC voltage measurement will not be the same as a DC voltage measurement. For example: 5 volts DC is 5 volts constantly, viewed over time. The average voltage is 5 volts. 5 volts AC (from zero to peak) is not actually 5 volts constantly, but varies between 5 volts and 0 volts over time. The average voltage will not be 5 volts. Using RMS AC values is designed to make AC and DC measurements equivalent, for example 5 volts DC and 5 volts RMS AC are almost identical.

A: It is a regular DC voltmeter but the AC is rectified and the DC component is measured and displayed as AC VOLTS.

12 volts DC
dc - the voltage is a constant 12 volts nominally in a normal car battery.
Use a full wave bridge rectifier.
AC 220/240 volts
AC and DC
No, it must be charged with a battery charger plugged into 120 volts AC which converts it to 12 volts DC.
You get power by multiplying the amperes and the voltage. 12V, 10A dc would give the same power as 120V, 1A ac.
