AC-DC Converter
An AC-DC converter is a device that transforms alternating current (AC), which flows back and forth, into direct current (DC), which flows steadily in one direction. This process is essential because many electronic devices, like smartphones and computers, operate on DC power. The converter uses electronic components, such as diodes and transformers, to rectify and smooth out the electrical flow, ensuring a consistent and safe power supply. Essentially, it adapts the electrical energy from power outlets to the type needed for electronic components to function properly.
