Will your MacBook run off power only when battery is dead?

If your battery is dead and you connect the power supply with your battery installed, the battery will automatically start charging. If you wish to run your MacBook off your power supply only, simply remove your battery from your MacBook and connect the power supply. You will then be running solely on the power supply. If you battery becomes fully charged while your power supply is connected, you MacBook will switch to the power connector as it's power source - preserving the battery.

What is the difference between gear switch and switch gear?

Most gear switches contain fuse which are rate by the amps of the switch. As the name implys (SWITCH), it's use to either power or isolate a particular area with only one source of electrical power. While changeovers are directly connected by two different source of electrical power with the aim of supplying electrical power to an area by either of the power supplied by the two source of electrical power, e.g generator and general power from the transformer..


Can electrical waves be transmitted through video cable?

Yes if the power source is dry cell or small batteries. Electrical waves can be transmitted in any conductor. Video cable has lower resistance than a regular electric cable and it can only tolerate a minimal source of electrical waves.


How does the RV heater work by using 110 volts only?

An RV heater that operates on 110 volts typically uses an electric heating element to generate warmth. When the heater is connected to a 110-volt power source, electrical resistance in the heating element converts electrical energy into heat. This heated air is then circulated throughout the RV, often with the help of a fan. These heaters are commonly used when the RV is plugged into shore power to provide a reliable source of heat without relying on propane or battery power.
