Answer 1

The instruction manual should tell you how to charge the battery but anyway

most AC adaptors are rounded are have a pronged end on them, samsung cameras will have a socket or a flap covering a socket that the AC adaptor goes into

explanation of an AC adaptor

AC=Alternating current

DC=Direct Current

The most common example of AC is mains electric, An AC Adaptor converts mains electric which is either mostly

UK/Europe=240V 50Hz(frequency that it alternates per second)

US/Other countires=110V 60Hz(frequency that it alternates per second)

An AC Adaptor using electrical components inside it with special properties normally lower the voltage and change the current from alternating to a direct current

Alternating current is switching from one direction to another in a waveform called a sine wave you should learn this in physics at school, direct current is always one direction with no waveform

Answer 2

the ac adapter is what you use to plug your camera into a house 110 outlet. In other words, plugs into any home electrical wall outlet.

Answer 3

AC adapter will convert the AC mains so that it will charge your camera (which runs on DC)

Answer 4

an ac (aternating current) adapter is a charger or power lead thats current is not a direct voltage. but i dont understand your question... i guess you plug it in to the camera to charge the battery

Answer 5

Definition of: power adapter

An external power supply for laptop computers and just about every portable or semi-portable electronic device on the market. Also called an "AC adapter," it contains a rectifier to convert AC current to DC and a transformer to convert voltage from 120 down to 9, 12, 15 or whatever is required. If a power adapter is not used with an electronic device, the power supply that creates the DC current is inside the unit. See transformer and power supply.
