Is a AC adapter the same as a charger?
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.
How does an ac power source differ from a dc power source?
AC power sources are the adapter power sources. DC power sources are the direct power sources. DC stands for direct current, meaning it is a direct source of energy., and AC stands for alternating current, which means it is a secondary source of power.
Does a computer use AC or dc power?
Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.
Can a 12v dc 500mA adapter be substituted for a 12v dc 200mA ac adapter?
No.If it is AC output, it will blow out the power circuits of the DC device.If it is DC output, it doesn't have enough current capacity for the load of the DC device.If you want to power a DC device with a wall wart, make sure the wart is:DC outputCorrect polarity (some have reversible polarity)Exact same voltage as the deviceGreater than or equal to current rating of the device
Can you run 12 volt DC adapter equipment with a 12 volt transformer?
The output of a 12 volt transformer is an alternating current (AC). Your adapter is a 12 volt transformer but it has a built in half wave or, more expensive ones, a full wave bridge rectifier. What this rectifier does is change AC to DC. Bridge rectifiers are cheap to purchase. Connect it to the output of the 12 volt transformer and you will get a DC voltage. Great little project.

Can a 9 volt 100mA ac adapter be substituted for a 9 volt DC 300mA adapter?
No. an AC adapter will not work for equipment that needs DC.
How can i use a TV at home that only has a plug for DC use?
Yes, you can. There are numerous companies that make AC/DC power adapters. Simply type in " (TV Model and or brand) AC/DC adapter."
What AC actually means in AC adapter?
Alternating Current ... like in most households.The adapter is either converting DC to AC or vice versa.
Is a AC adapter the same as a charger?
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.
Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a car battery?
No, auto batteries are DC not AC.
Can ac power a 9-31V LED light?
With the proper AC to DC adapter, you can power the LED.
How do you charge a supercapacitor?
use a dc power source. preferably an ac/dc power adapter. any dc power source will do.
Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a 12 volt car battery?
No, the battery is DC not AC.
