What else can I help you with?
Can only direct current be used for charging batterys?
No, alternating current (AC) can also be used to charge batteries using a charger that converts AC to DC. The charger will convert the AC power from the outlet to DC power that is suitable for charging the battery.
Can you put 12V 50W light to 12v ac 2A adaptor?
No, you should not connect a 12V 50W light directly to a 12V AC 2A adaptor. The light requires a higher wattage than the adaptor can provide, which can damage both the light and the adaptor. You should use an adaptor that can supply the correct voltage and wattage for the light.
Can a Diode be used on a battery charger?
ya. we are using diode in a battery charger to convert ac into dc. 230v dc is step down by using step down transformer
Can a 12V ac bulb be used with 12V dc adapter or 12v DC supply?
Answer 1: No. Answer 2: This depends. The chances are that an AC adaptor can be substituted by a DC adaptor. It depends on what item it is powering. Not many items run directly on AC power. Most items that is shipped with an AC adaptor has got its own internal rectifier in order to make DC from AC. If you know enough about electricity and electronics to open up and check the item you need to power up, then check if it contain an internal rectifier. If it does, then it should be no problem. Some times however, the diodes used for rectifying the voltage are tightly dimensioned. 4 diodes is needed to rectify the power. 4 diodes of 500ma give you a usable current of about 1 Ampere if run with an AC power-source. If using a DC power-source however, the usable current is halved because only 2 of the 4 diodes will be used. Some items that use an AC adaptor is some clock-radios or answer-machines with time-telling. For these items it is likely that they will run fine on an DC adaptor except for the clock. In Europe, the AC is 50 Hz. In US, this frequency's is 60 Hz. This frequency is highly accurate and can be used to measure time for a clock. If using DC, then the clock will not function, but the rest should. Another issue is voltage... 12 v AC... when rectified and not stabilized, it will make about 16.8 volt. When powering some item, the voltage will drop, but always stay above 12 volt. Probably more like 14 volt. This depending on current drawn. If using a 12 v DC power-source, this will after diodes only give about 11.3 volt. It may still be enough for most appliances though. If not sure about what I am writing about, then you should find a perfect match AC adaptor to your "thing" and not even test a DC adaptor on it. IF the question was reverted. "Can I substitute a DC adaptor with an AC adaptor" then in 99.9% of cases this is a big NO. If putting AC where you should put DC, this will most likely lead to destruction of your item. You will "shortcut" capacitors and transistors. It may also cause fire.
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.
What does a ac adaptor model ua- 1506c imput 120v do is it a chargwe?
The UA-1506C is an AC adaptor designed to convert 120V AC power from a wall outlet into a lower voltage DC output suitable for powering or charging devices. While it may be used for charging, whether it functions specifically as a charger depends on the device it is intended to power. Always check the device's requirements to ensure compatibility with the adaptor.
Can you convert a wall charger to a car charger with an adaptor?
With the right kind of adapter, a cigarette lighter in the car can be converted to a typical AC outlet like you would find in your home.
What is an ac adapter for a phone?
An AC Adapters are a type of external power supply which is often enclosed in a case. AC Adapters are used within electrical devices that require power but do not contain internal components to derive the required voltage and power from the mains.
Does the AC adaptor charger actually charge the battery on your game boy, or just allow you to play without using up battery?
No, the AC adapter only allows you to play with power provided from the wall. Rechargable batteries must be charged in their own charger.
