With the proper cap configuration on the DC cable, yes it physically can be done. If there is a DC load connected to the end of the DC cable, the load would be destroyed by the application of AC voltage being applied to it. Why anyone would consider doing this type of procedure is anyone's guess.

If you plug an appliance designed for AC into a DC Power source the appliance?
Usually nothing good will happen. The appliance may not work or be damaged or overheat. Sometimes for small electronics, it will work fine. Many electronic devices have a rectifier that converts AC to DC, and DC will pass through and work fine. But other devices have transformers that will not work with DC input.
A power supply receives 120 volts of power from a wall outlet and converts it to?
A power supply receives 120 volts of AC power from a wall outlet and converts it to 3.3, 5, and 12 volts of DC power.
Can a cigarette lighter plug be replaced with a regular outlet plug?
No, a cigarette lighter plug cannot be replaced with a regular outlet plug. These two types of plugs have different voltage ratings and designs. A cigarette lighter plug is designed to fit into a car's 12-volt DC socket, while a regular outlet plug is designed for use with household AC outlets.
Can you plug a US appliance in a Japanese outlet?
Not typically. Domestic service in many areas of Japan is similar to US Network services in that it provides two phases, like ABN to a service, then BCN to the next, etcetera. There are appliances in the US designed for Network services; but then there is the question of the plug at the end of the cord -- will it match both physically and electrically. It is best to first identify where in Japan you want plug the appliance and second find out available electric service parameters -- they still have some DC over there...
How do you find out the power supply voltage from my wall outlet?
If you're in North America, and you're using a standard PowerPoint (ie. a normal outlet - two vertical bars with a round pin beneath or above), then you've almost certainly got 110 to 125 Volts AC. If you're in Europe or many places elsewhere - like Australia, for example, then it's possible that you've got 220 to 240 Volts AC. Using a voltmeter, you can measure the voltage between the pins to determine exactly what voltage is provided. I'd get an electrician or someone technical to do this for you - the power in the electrical outlet can be DEADLY. Do not attempt this unless you're qualified to do so!
Can you plug 1 ampere 12 volts dc appliance to a 30 ampheres 12 volt dc outlet?
The outlet is rated for 30A, so anything up to, but not exceeding 30A can be plugged in.
Will a 12 volt light plug into a standard wall outlet?
No, it will cause the bulb to blow. A 12 volt light is DC voltage and your home outlet is AC voltage.
How can you power your CB at home to a standard wall outlet?
Get a 120 volt ac to 12volt dc power supply. you plug them into a house outlet and it converts120 house voltage to 12 volt dc , some have regulators on them and you can turn the dc voltage up and down on them. make sure you set your device to the proper voltage before turning on.
What is a power converter and how can it be useful to you?
It's an electrical device for converting electrical energy, usually to covert AC to DC or vise versa, and has hundreds of good uses, such as tranferring power from a wall outlet to a charging battery that can't plug into a wall.

What are three ways a notebook can receive its power?
From the wall outlet, AC/DC adapter, or Battery
Can you splice a car stereo into a wall outlet?
No. Car stereos run on 12v DC power. A wall outlet, depending on where in the world you are, gives out either 110-120 or 220-240v AC power.
A power supply receives 120 volts of power from a wall outlet and converts it to?
A power supply receives 120 volts of AC power from a wall outlet and converts it to 3.3, 5, and 12 volts of DC power.
What is the expression of the power consumed by an electric appliance fed by a DC?
Power consumed by the appliance = (DC supply voltage) x (DC current)
What is the input energy of an electric drill?
Some use AC electric power from a wall outlet. Some use DC electric power from a rechargeable battery (but this was originally charged using AC electric power from a wall outlet).
How do you power a 1500 watt AC appliance in a car?
You can buy an "inverter." It plugs into the cigarette lighter or accessory plug or directly clips to the battery terminals and converts the 12 volt DC to AC. You can then plug your appliance into it. Be sure to get an inverter that is the right wattage capacity for your device.
What appliance has DC voltage?
A laptop computer requires DC.
