AC adapters
Laptop power supplies
AC adapters are devices that convert alternating current from a wall outlet to the direct current required by electronic devices.
They're the power bricks that charge laptops, phones, and countless other gadgets.
The adapter typically plugs into a standard outlet and connects to the device via a cable with a proprietary or standard connector: I forgot my AC adapter and my laptop died.
