Answer
<p>240-volt power is typically AC (Alternating Current). This is the standard voltage in many countries for residential and commercial applications. In countries like the UK, Australia, and most of Europe, 240V AC is used for household outlets. In North America, 240V AC is used for heavy appliances like electric dryers, ovens, and air conditioners.</p>
