What are the 2 basic types of currents?
The main division is between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). AC is universal now for domestic and industrial supply, but DC used to be used in some places in the early part of last century. Automobiles use DC at 12V which is I think universal now. AC in domestic use can be at 50Hz (Europe and many other places) or 60Hz (North America), and can be at either 240V or 120V.
Which device is used to convert direct current into alternating current?
An inverter
