How can you increase voltage of an ac adapter?

Increase primary voltage but decraease amerage - eg double voltage and half amperage. This will double your secondary voltage. "Transformed" voltage is easy to understand by following this simple math rule. secondary voltage divided by primary voltage = no of turns on secondary and no of turns on primary. eg; 240v \ 12v = 20 (factor) this means the secondary winding is 20x the primary winding. Basically thats all I know Stick to this rule for step up & step down tranforming & you'll be sweet.

AC adapters are used to give electronic equipment that normally runs on batteries the opportunity to plug into a wall outlet. This cuts down on the amount of money you need to spend on batteries, and also extends the run-time of the appliance/electronics indefinitely.


Can you use a 9v 300ma ac adapter in 9v 100ma socket its for a micro guitar amp?

yes but the device will not work property or nor work at all <<>> No, the 100 mA adapter will be too small to operate a device that requires 300 mA for its operation. By trying to draw a higher current than the adapter can supply, the adapter will heat up and possibly burn itself open. In other words the adapter will stop working.
