Mains Electricity
  1. Mains Supply is AC
    1. UK mains is supply is approximately 230 volts
      1. The frequency is at 50 hertz
        1. AC = Alternating Current
        2. Battery is DC
          1. DC = Direct Current
            1. Cells and batteries supply DC
              1. Current flow in the same direction
            2. Electricity supplies can be shown on an Oscilloscope Screen
              1. A Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) is basically a voltmeter
                1. When you plug an AC supply into an oscilloscope, you will get a 'trace' on the that shows how the voltage of the supply changes with time.
