A surge protector device. This is placed inline between the computer and the mains supply - and 'smoothes out' the power coming from the outlet socket.

Does ripping damage the computer?
if you mean ripping cd's then no, it should not damage your computer at all
What are the advantages to having a higher wattage ac adapter for a notebook?
You should not use a power adapter with a higher voltage output than the input rating on the computer. It can cause damage to the computer and the battery. You can use a lower voltage. If you do and you are using your computer, it might not charge but it will prolong the time you have before it runs out. If you do not use it, then it will charge but slower than with the correctly rated power adapter.
Why should you report damage to your computer?
You should report damage to your computer so your computer is safe and if you like droped it or something and I wont work anymore you might want to call some one.
Where can the input voltage selection be changed from 110 volts to 220 volts on a computer system?
The voltage can be changed for a computer in a few ways. The advanced way is through the BIOS. However this is not recommended for an everyday user! You can find a few programs online that will allow you to safely change the voltage and some that is still for advanced users but easier to do. WARNING! Changing the voltage can permanently damage your PC. Most likely cause overheating. You should never change the voltage on a PC unless the goal is to overclock! Overclocking will void computer manufacture's warranties!
Is the voltage regulator in the computer on a 1987 Dodge Lancer?
Should be located in the back of the alternator
What happens to voltage when resistance increases?
Ohm's law states that "The current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit." <<>> if resistor exists, resistance decreases according to ohm's law, current is directly proportional to voltage and current is inversely proportional to resistance it means as current increases, voltage increases. resistance increases, current decreases so as voltage if there is no resistor, there should be no resistance except internal resistance of voltmeter and ammeter
Why should a technician avoid using magnetized tools when repairing a computer?
They can induce current which can damage internal computer components.
Why is voltage of the battery not equal to the voltage across each bulb in parallel connections?
There are two possible reasons. Firstly, due to the internal resistance of the supply source, there is an internal voltage drop within that source, and this increases as load current increases. In other words, the closed-circuit (load) voltage is always lower than the open-circuit (no-load) voltage. Secondly, a voltage drop always occurs along the conductors between the supply source and the load. Again, the greater the load current, the greater this voltage drop. In a well-designed circuit, these two voltage drops should be insignificant.
Your volt meter shows your generator is producing 145 volts will it damage your electrical equipment?
Yes it coudl damage equipment. Check voltage rating on equipment. However, there should be an adjustment somewhere on the generator to set the voltage properly. Also make sure your meter is calibrated. Check a known voltage source such as an outlet and compare readings.
Will my laptop charge if I replace it's 28V adapter with a 20V adapter even though the Voltage is lower?
No, you should always match the voltage requirements. Not only will your battery not charge you could actually damage it.
Why should a prime mover's speed be kept constant?
As you asked the question and it was added it to the electrical category I am presuming that you are talking about electrical generation. The prime mover has to be kept at a constant speed. The speed of the prime mover governs the frequency of the voltage generated. As the load increases the engine will start to slow down. The engine's speed governor senses this drop in RPM, hence the drop in frequency, and increases the fuel supply to the engine by advancing the diesel engine's fuel rack. This action increases the engine speed and brings the generated frequency back to the required system frequency.Also as the load increases, the output voltage will start to decrease. The output voltage is controlled by the generator's voltage regulator. When the decrease in voltage is sensed by the voltage regulator, it increases the generator's field excitation voltage which will bring the voltage back to the required system voltage.These actions are going on continuously, balancing each other all the time the engine is running and the generator is producing an output voltage.
2004 jeep tj 4.0 what should alternator be putting out voltage?
13-15 volts, depends on what the computer wants.
