Can you use a 12 volt transformer on a 10 volt appliance?
Yes you can, as long as they have the nearly the same output voltage it doesn't really matter. It is even more important to check three other things:
* that the amperage (current) drawn by the appliance is not greater than the rated output amperage shown on the transformer's label or rating plate;
* that the transformer or power supply unit produces an output that is the same kind as that required by the appliance. For instance, if the appliance requires a dc (direct current) supply it will not work on a power supply unit producing only ac (alternating current);
* if the power supply produces a dc output, be sure to check that the polarity ("+" and "-") of the power supply plug's inner and outer connections matches exactly what the appliance requires. If they are the wrong way round the appliance may not work or could even be damaged.
If you have them, it is best to check the rating plates of both the original power supply unit and the other one you are thinking of using, as well as the appliance's user handbook, to see exactly what voltage (ac or dc) and what amperage is required.
Is there temperature difference with PC power supplies?
Yes. The more power the PC power supply puts out, the hotter it will be, and the more fan power it will need to remain cool. ex.. Gaming PCs require lots of power to run. Therefore, special cooling systems are required to keep the PC running.

In most cases Mac's are more reliable and faster than PC's and will last longer, as well as easier to use.
HP computers, however, are much more inexpensive and affordable. Both companies offer great technical support and high quality products, as well as remarkable cosmetic designs for their products. The difficult thing with HPs is that when they get faulty in a year or two, you have to pay for the fix even though you did nothing wrong with it.
Can I use a 9 Volt 1 Amp power adaptor in place of a 5 volt 1.2 Amp adaptor?
No, the voltage of the replacement adapter must always be IDENTICAL to the original adapter and the current of the replacement adapter must be the same or larger than the original adapter.
Trying to use a 9 Volt adapter to replace a 5 Volt adapter will almost certainly completely destroy the device the moment you plug it in.
You did not say whether the adapters provided AC or DC or the polarity if DC. Either way both the replacement adapter and the original adapter must be IDENTICAL in this respect.
Can 240 volts be converted to 110 volts?
Yes , with a step down transformer. 240 volts into the primary side H1 and H2 which is stepped down to 120 volts on the secondary side, X1 and X2.
What causes the computer screen to pulsate up and down?
this could be because othere electrical items are close by like a mobile phone or sterio
THIS IS SAMMY, HERE.Since I asked the question, I should share the answer which I BELIEVE I've found.
it was caused by my having checked 'FLEXIBLE BUTTONS". After I unchecked it, my screen seem to be back to normal.So unless you know what this '" FLEXIBLE BUTTONS' option is, leave it unchecked.
I got to this option by right clicking on my browserthen properties. Thanks !
Who is the person the plays the voice of horrid Henry?
Lizzie Waterworth is the voice of Horrid Henry.
The time rate of flow of electric charge, in the direction that a positive moving charge would take and having magnitude equal to the quantity of charge per unit time: measured in amperes. See more.
well, it depends on what the other stand says
if it's 1 and 0, then 0 would be off
most of the time o or 0 will mean off
Advantages and disadvantage of electronic media in Pakistan?
The constructive role of the media in highlightting and exposing social evils, corruption, injustice, oppression, persecutions and other plethora of problems besetting people can hardly be overlooked and denied. The free, bold and impartial media help build an impressive and sound image for the country internationally. It is heartening to see media in Pakistan growing in power with each passing day, voicing the truth fearlessly and vociferously despite all odds.
The media mirrors society. We have different newspapers and channels depicting what goes around in a forceful and meaningful manner. Now, with so much power at its disposal, we have huge expectations with the media to perform its effective role impartially, honestly, judiciously and conscientiously. Now, a huge responsibility lies on the media to act sensibly and wisely.
Free media is essential for democracy. It fosters transparency and accountability, both of which are prerequisites for a sustainable economic development. Media in Pakistan, after a long time, enjoy a considerable power and clout. Sometimes, it has been, regrettably, observed that some TV channels and newspapers go overboard in their reporting the news, presenting hyperbolized coverage, which is against the journalistic norms. Their deplorable and pernicious propagandist campaigns against democratic institutions are condemnable. In fact, what is being touted as extensive reporting is actually a travesty of sentiments. Greed for juicy reports and their irrational haste to be ahead in the ugliest of rat races is nothing but thoroughly unprofessional and venal journalism. Stuffing microphones down traumatised people's throat are not mistakes; its sheer insensitivity and selfishness.
If this insensitivity and heartlessness is called media, then we don't need such media. We want true media- the media which do not take unethical advantage of its freedom. Despite these negative impressions some of the channels and newspapers give us, we can safely say that thanks to media, hundreds of evils in Pakistan are now exposed. The downtrodden and oppressed people have found an outlet in shape of media to raise their voice against injustice perpetrated against them and seek help. They just need to go nearby press club or have an access to any journalist to save themselves from the clutches of cruelties and highhandedness.
Now our government is also accountable to what it does in presence of powerful media having vigilant eyes on its doings. Now, no corruption can go unchecked, unnoticed and unheeded thanks to robust media in Pakistan.
Being the watchdog of society, media in Pakistan should act responsibly and avoid blowing trivial issues out of proportion. The government is also urged not to get involved in petty war against the media by clamping down the channels; rather it should, with tolerance and broadmindedness, seek guidance from the media to make its performance better to best. Both our government and the media are supposed to work in their respective parameters in the larger interest of Pakistan

How do you practically realize the design of a double-stub impedance match using microstrip?
microstrip line is unbalanced line so it works in same way as other unbalanced line. so in double stub, the microstrip line forms the reactance wanted to match. Hey what happened to methods involving the schmidt chart?
Does the Hardness Master really work on hard water?
Yes, the HardnessMaster appears to be extremely effective and is sold by Vitasalus, Inc. at http://www.equinox-products.com. The Hardness Master is a no-salt electronic water conditioner & descaler system that provides an easy solution to hard water and limescale problems.
"I love this softener! The water in Las Vegas is hard (18.3 gpg or 313 mg/L (ppm)). I bought the Vitasalus HardnessMaster with skepticism. I installed it in five minutes and said 'We'll see how it works'. In two days time I felt a difference! After the third day and a couple loads of laundry I could literally feel and see the difference in my clothes and around the sink and shower. I am only sorry that I didn't find the HardnessMaster sooner. I've told all my friends about the Hardness Master. Do yourself a favor and get one today!"
