THe mbile charger takes a.c (alternating current) from power source and convers it to d.c(direct current) and feds it to mobile battery.

The charger also steps down the voltage from the power line voltage 110v etc to very small voltages e.g3 v etc.

Chargers for mobile phones, take the mains supply and transform it to a lower voltage for the phone battery.

Some chargers use a transformer whereas newer ones use switch mode technology. The switch mode ones feel very light, compared to a heavy transformer.

The current is induced in a secondary coil in the transformer, which also provides electrical isolation from the mains supply.

The current is used to charge a capacitor in pulses, in the SMPSU.

What is the difference between adapter and charger?

An Adapter usually convert AC current into DC current with low output voltage for a device like camera, speaker, tape etc which uses to operate 3, 6, 9, 12 volts or whatever. but a Charger is used to charging batteries (any type) like laptop, mobile, camcorder batteries etc. It also convert AC current into DC current with low voltage but with high charging power.


Can a 350mA charger be exchanged for a 800mA battery charger?

Yes, a 800mA charger can be used in place of a 350 mA charger. The number represents the maximum amount of current that the charger is designed to produce. The main thing to look for is that the output voltages are the same rating in both chargers.
