### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Voltage Types**: - AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) are two types of electrical current. AC voltage alternates in direction and magnitude, while DC voltage remains constant. 2. **Voltage Levels**: - The given voltage levels are 220V for both AC and DC. However, the effective value (or RMS value) of AC is not the same as its peak value. ...
