3. Power Supply:
A power supply provides electricity to an electronic
device by transforming electrical energy from a
source. AC and DC power supplies are the two main
categories, with DC providing a constant voltage
output and AC transforming the mains' AC voltage
into DC. Power supplies come in various forms and
ratings, from small wall outlets for mobile phones to
large generators for industrial machinery.
