Why do mobile phones or laptops need a charger/adapter?

Product No: P1530360

Principle

In this experiment, the generation of alternating voltage and the conversion of it to direct voltage by means of rectifying and smoothing are presented.

An alternating voltage changes polarity periodically. The electricity network supplies a sinusoidal alternating voltage (in Germany: 230 Volt with a frequency of 50 hertz). Many household devices that we daily use and handle need a direct voltage for their operation, however. Examples of these reach from Laptops und PCs to mobilephone chargers and on to halogen and LED lamps. A rectifier is needed to convert the alternating voltage to direct voltage. It can be directly built in the device or in an external power supply. In engineering, the conversion of alternating to direct voltage is also used for high voltage direct current conveyance in the transport of electricity over long stretches.
