What else can I help you with?
Is a phone charger mains power?
Yes, a phone charger typically converts AC mains power to DC power needed to charge a phone.
Does a computer use AC or dc power?
Both, in a way. Electronic components, including moth components inside the computer, need DC. However, since the power available in homes or offices is AC, a computer is designed to work with this. A computer has a power supply that internally converts AC to DC.
Is there a component in the system unit that converts the wall outlet AC power into DC power?
In a wall adapter there is a device that converts AC to DC. Inside the adapter there is usually a transformer that reduces the voltage down to a working voltage of the equipment that the adapter plugs into. The output of the transformer is then connected to either a half wave or full wave bridge rectifier. More expensive adapters will have a resistive capacitive network in them to smooth out the ripple DC that is supplied on the output of the bridge rectifier.
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.
What component of a motor changes induced AC voltage into a pulsating DC?
its commutator..which converts ac produced by and motor to pulsating dc ... more the commutator divide more accurate dc..means less pulse in dc
What laptop component converts DC to AC?
rectifier. not unique to laptops.
What is the function of rails on a power supply?
converts to ac power
Which laser printer component converts AC line voltage into the DC voltages the printer can use?
As in all electronics devices that obtain power from the AC electric system, a power supply converts the AC to the DC voltage(s) needed by the electronics in the device. Depending on the needs of the device this power supply may deliver a single DC voltage or as many as several dozen different DC voltages.
Do laptop work on ac or DC and how?
A laptop runs on DC. Either from the battery, or the external power supply, which converts AC power to DC.
What is the component of the system unit that coverts AC power into DC power?
Rectifier
Which charging system component converts alternating current into direct current?
Diode rectifier
What is the AC drive?
An AC drive is a device that converts AC power into a desired frequency to allow for AC motor speed control. This term is commonly used in engineering.
The device that converts AC to DC to run the computer is called?
power supply
Which device converts 120volt ac from what if your wall to 12vdc for your computer to use?
power supply
What is the difference between diode and converter?
Diode: Which allows power in one direction or which converts AC to dc . Converter: Which converts DC to DC
What is the main difference between UPS and Inverter?
Inverter is the one which converts DC to AC. UPS is the one which provides you uninterrupted power supply. UPS as a system comprises of converter (converts AC to DC), battery, battery charger circuit and an inverter (converts DC to AC). Inverter is part of UPS.
What component is used as a high power solid state AC switch?
Triac.
