There are two types of voltage:
1. AC
2. DC
It's hard to answer what 'Types' of voltage there are. It is measured in volts and can span anywhere from zero to almost infinity.
Useable voltages can be roughly zoned.
From zero up to 1 volt. = Signal voltage.
1.5v to 36v = Low voltage for electronics and consumer items.
48v to 240v = High voltage for domestic applications in the home.
280 to 512v = High voltage used for industrial machines.
1KV to 400Kv= Very high voltage for transmission over distance.
AC (Alternating current) is made using a spinning generator. It is the only type of current that can be transformed easily from one volktage to another using a transformer.
DC (Direct current) is normally made using batteries, but can also be made using a generator with a commutator and brush gear.
Very hard to change voltage, but useful at low voltages for electronics.

What are the three kinds of switching mechanism used in low voltage?
Transistors, relays, and triacs.
What are the two basic categories of transmission?
The two basic categories of transmission are:High voltage transmission andLow voltage transmission.
What is the effects of more than one voltage source in a network?
Two voltage sources in series can either add up or cancel out depending on which way round they are orientated. If the two positive or the two negative terminals are connected together, the overall voltage is the subtraction of the two. If the positive terminal from one supply is connected to the negative terminal from another, the overall voltage is the sum of the two.
What is produced first current or voltage?
current flows as a result of potential difference i.e. in a circuit if there is no voltage difference between two points, no current can flow between those two points. So voltage has to be produced first.
What is voltage rms in relation to alternate voltage?
RMS voltage is the DC equivalent of your AC waveform. Vrms=(Vpeak)/(root two) If your peak voltage is 170V then the RMS voltage would be approx. 120 V (see related link)
What are the two kinds of voltage source?
Direct source Indirect source
What are the kinds of voltage?
Alternating current - AC, and direct current - DC.
What will be the resultant voltage if the two phase voltage having no phase difference?
If two phase voltages are the same voltage and the same phase angle, the the resultant voltage will be twice the voltage.
How much voltage does two lemons have?
1.8 voltage
What is voltage fluctuation?
A: Due to undesirable external voltage changes like the AC line dropping out occasionally the DC or input signal will become a variable voltage that is referred as voltage fluctuation but it can refers to all kinds of these kind of problems.
What are the three kinds of switching mechanism used in low voltage?
Transistors, relays, and triacs.
Theme of two kinds?
there are two kinds in every person.
What are the two kinds of solutions?
The Two kinds of Solution are:SolventSolute
What does Two Kinds refer to?
Two kinds of daughters: obedient and disobedient
What are two kinds of arthropods?
The two kinds of Arthropods are the Crustaceans and Arachnids.
What are two kinds of marrow?
Two kinds of marrow are red and yellow.
How to make electricy from a potato?
Insert two different kinds of metal rods into the potato and you should see voltage on a voltmeters. Try copper wire for one rod, and an iron nail for the other.
