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.
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 a laptop with a 65 watt power adapter be powered up with a 300 watt dc to ac inverter with 140 watt continuous operation with low voltage and overload protection?
Ues, a laptop with a 65 watt power adapter can be powered up with a 300 watt dc to ac inverter with 140 watt continuous operation with low voltage and overload protection
Can you use a 9v dc power adapter on a device that requires a 10v dc?
No. The 9 volt DC adapter has a built in bridge rectifier that changes the AC to DC. Usually it is a half wave rectifier but on some more of the expensive adapters a full wave bridge and capacitors will be used.
