What is special about AC power supplies?

AC power supplies are power supplies that use Alternating Current, which means that the current repeatedly changes its direction. AC power supplies are usually mains supplies as they are at a high voltage. Often filtering takes place between the mains supply and the device.

What is AC power plug?

an AC power plug is one that utilizes AC (or alternating current) to power a device. Alternating current is different to direct current (or DC) in the way that instead of providing a direct source of power, it alternates between negative and positive. Most devices rely on Alternating current due to circuitry reasons
