Sine wave
What is a sinusoidal wave? This is a wave that appears to have curves. AC current/voltage. If you see a wave on a ossiloscope of what our AC (Alternating current) mains voltage that will be the answer to the question. DC (direct current) does not appear to have the same qualitys
mainly AC but can be DC if done correctly
By switching circuits or transistors that turn on and off the polarity. This usually results in a square wave output. Then capacitors charge and discharge to smooth out the square wave to resemble the AC sine wave. The better or more expensive the inverter, the closer to an actual sine wave it gets.
Disconnect the primary source.

Assuming a sine wave, the RMS current (the effective current) is the peak current divided by the square root of 2. In this case, that would be approximately 14 ampere.
AC in this context probably means Alternating Current. This kind of current changes direction 60 times per second. The variation in the direction of the current can be graphed in the form of a sine wave.
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.
Gives you a direct current. There is a small amount of AC ripple that makes it through.
For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.

AC - Alternating current , means the sign wave alternates +180 degrees to -180 degrees. this is the most common of power supplys , such as the power to your house etc. DC - direct current , is a steady source of power on a straight wave form , although the wave can be altered , DC is mostly found in batteries or Rectifiers . basically - power outlets kill - batteries dont :D
Unlike AC, which HAS waves, DC current is waveless- either on or off. No waves= no wave length.
ac power - alternating current. That's what comes out of a wall socket.
