A laptop runs on DC. Either from the battery, or the external power supply, which converts AC power to DC.

How much voltage does a 14 inch laptop screen use?

A laptop's screen uses something called an inverter to transform DC voltage into AC for the backlight. The inverter can take from 5V to 20V DC directly from the laptop's power supply and transform it into 5-20V AC for use with the backlight.

Transformers don't work with DC supplies - they only work on AC.


Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?

A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.


Why do you still use both ac and DC?

How do you Verify DC power in laptop?

Every laptop is different. If you unplug your AC power adapter from the laptop and it start it up, then your battery is doing the work. If you want to check the opposite, remove the battery and make sure the AC power adapter is plugged in properly and start it up. If your laptop starts up from one form of power but not the other, either your connection is bad or the hardware itself (ex. battery or AC power adapter) is faulty.


If DC is applied to the primary of a transformer is there any current in the secondary and if there is then whether ac or DC?

first, understand that a transformer is an AC DEVICE. it wont work on dc...
