An AC adapter adapts the device that one wants to power up to the AC line. That means it converts the AC line voltage to something that can be used by the device in question. An AC adapter converts AC to DC. (In contrast, a device that runs off DC and makes AC out of it is called an inverter. An example of an inverter is the device that plugs into a vehicle's cigarette lighter and has an outlet on the other end that will permit someone to plug something like a kitchen blender into it. Great for tailgating! Don't run your vehicle's battery down....) There are times when an AC adapter is the little plug-in-the-wall thingie that converts the AC line voltage to some lesser value of AC. There are a few devices out there (usually older ones) that used their AC adapters to step down the wall voltage (115 volts AC) to 24 volts AC, 18 volts AC, 9 volts AC, or anything like that. Some new sprinkler control timers use an adapter that is an AC -to-AC step down converter. By looking at the information on the adapter, the user can see what the primary voltage is (and it's almost invariably 115 volts AC or 120 volts AC - same, same for this application) and what the secondary voltage is. As stated, the secondary is almost always DC, and if it is, the polarity is almost always indicated as well. That's so a user can tell if that little round connector has positive on the inside and negative on the outside or the other way round. (It makes a lot of difference to the device on which it is used, as one might guess.)
a DC adapter reduces 110/120V current down to (usually) 12volts pf current.
A Rectifier converts Alternating current into Direct current
Dc chopper is a static device which converts constant dc source to variable dc.
A "Rectifier" converts AC current to pulsating DC current.
the answer is Rectifier. it converts ac voltage into dc which can apply to the dc device
Diode is a Two terminal device which allows flow of curent in forward direction that means it converts DC to AC

An ac adapter converts ac current into dc current through a rectifier, and a battery charger outputs dc current at an adjustable powerful charging rate and also converts ac current to dc current to charge different sizes of batteries.
Yes. However, the device me not run at its optimum capacity/speed. Other thing to take into consideration is that the polarity (+/-) of adapter and the receiving device must match.
input voltage is strictly according to applications. If use 12V dc adapter power 5V dc device, the 5v dc device would be damaged.
A one amp adapter is the same as a 1000 mA adapter. If your device requires 500 mA to operate then there is ample capacity in the adapter to operate a 500 mA device. Be sure to match the type of voltage AC or DC from the adapter to the driven device. Both have to be the same.
Yes, the manufacturer specifies what the working voltage of a device will be and that voltage has to be adhered to.

An alternator is a device that converts DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). If you need to convert AC to DC, then you need a rectifier.
