AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
Pretty much anything - in the UK steel, copper, polyethylene and PVC are all used where suitable.
For many years, mainland Western Europe has used a mains electricity supply rated at nominally 220VAC @ 50Hz, while the UK used 240VAC @ 50Hz. Currently, ALL Western European supplies are classified 230VAC and most other countries follow this. However the US and Canada use 120 V @ 60 Hz.
You can reduce the voltage fluctuations by first determining what is causing them, then counteracting this cause. In small circuit designs with multiple switching amplifier and ICs, the power or ground lines may become noisy due to this switching. Placing capacitors at the ICs power and ground can reduce this to manageable levels in most cases. Sometimes it can become necessary to isolate specific circuit's power and ground from the system using small inductors as well. If you are designing a power supply, zener diodes, and isolated power outputs (at the same or different voltages) can be used.
Like most other countries, you will find that in England we use voltages ranging from almost zero to a few tens of kV, depending on the application. ;) However, assuming you mean the voltage supplied by 3-pin 13A mains sockets (type G) then from 1 January 2004 the mains supply should be 230V (-6%, +10%), 50 Hz (±1%). ie a range of 216.2 - 253V. This replaced the UK's former specification which was 240V ±6% (ie a range of 225.6 - 254.4V). Some "shaver sockets", similar to round 2-pin sockets (type C) found in mainland Europe, will supply 110 V, but be careful since they often have a dual mode 110V/240V.

The mains supply in Scotland is 50Hz.
According to the Wikipedia article on mains electricity by country, the power in the UK operates at 50Hz. There is a link below to the article.
Not without a suitable mains adapter to charge the battery. The UK mains voltage is 230 Volts - the US mains runs at just 110 colts.
In the UK, the term, 'mains', refers to the supply voltage provided by the distribution system. In most residential properties, the mains' supply is single phase (there are exceptions: some European countries have three-phase supplies), in which case you cannot 'wire' a three-phase load such as an induction motor into the mains.
It depends on where you live, as most countries have their own standards. In the UK, for example, the nominal (named) mains voltage is 230 V, but it is allowed to vary between +10% and -6%. The nominal frequency of this voltage is 50 Hz, and this is allowed to vary between +/-1%. In North America, the standard nominal supply voltage is 120 V at 60 Hz.
In the UK the mains voltage is 240 volts
UK mains electricity operates at a nominal voltage of 230 V (+10%/-6%), at 50 Hz.
230 V
Mains refer to the general-purpose alternating current (AC) electric power supply. In the UK, households receive 230v of electricity for normal house hold use at a frequency of 50Hz. The advantage attached with the use of alternating current is the ease with which it can be stepped up or down to suit the purpose using a transformer.

Mains electricity is nothing but main source of power in an installation. From the mains the power is then branched out to different end usage.
