If I were to take a standard AC to DC converter, say a laptop charger, and hook up the input side (which expects 120VAC at 60Hz) to a DC power supply of some sorts, will the electricity still be “converted,” or will it just not work at all? I am clearly very uneducated when it comes to electronics (albeit working on it) so I would very much an ELI5 answer Thanks!
I think if a plug, or component, that’s expecting alternating current input, gets direct current input – it won’t work.
But I’m super dumb, so I’m really interested now in the answer to this question.
