A phone charger is rated with input of AC 240v 50/60Hz 0.35 amps will it accept only 240 v 0.35 or will it take full 240 v 16 amps and step it down please I am very new to electrical stuff please help I am really confused.
Power supplies are available in a wide range of voltage and current ratings.  If I have a device that has specific voltage and current ratings, how do those relate to the power ratings I need to specify?  What if I don't know the device's specs, but am replacing a previous power supply with particular ratings?  Is it OK to go lower voltage, or should it always be higher?  What about current?  I don't want a 10 A supply to damage my 1 A device.
The divisibility rule for $3$ is well-known: if you add up the digits of $n$ and the sum is divisible by $3$, then $n$ is divisible by three.  This is quite helpful for determining if really large numbers are multiples of three, because we can recursively apply this rule:  $$1212582439 \rightarrow 37 \rightarrow 10\rightarrow 1 \implies 3\not\mid 1212582439$$ $$124524 \rightarrow 18 \rightarrow 9 \implies 3\mid 124524$$  This works for as many numbers as I've tried.  However, I'm not sure how this may be proven.  Thus, my question is:     Given a positive integer $n$ and that $3\mid\text{(the sum of the digits of $n$)}$, how may we prove that $3\mid n$? Let $A$ and $B$ be two fixed points on a fixed straight line. Two circles touch this line at $A$ and $B$ respectively and tangent to each other at $M$. When the circles vary, what does the locus of $M$ form? When I read about , I see that they should appear as solution to prevent  and  but when I actually try to write a code which would use Lightning promises it still doesn't look like synchronous code, it still resembles both pyramid of doom and callback hell.  main: function(component, helper) {     helper.promise1(component, helper).then(         $A.getCallback(function(record) {             return helper.promise2(component, helper, record).then(                 $A.getCallback(function(){                     console.log("Success");                     helper.showToastMessage(component, "Great Success!!!!")                 }),                  $A.getCallback(function(errorMessage){                     console.log("Rejected by second promise2");                     helper.showToastMessage(component, "Failure " + errorMessage);                 })              )         }),          $A.getCallback(function(errors){             console.log("Rejected by first promise1");             let message = errors &amp;&amp; Array.isArray(errors) &amp;&amp; errors.length &gt; 0 ? errors[0].message :'Unknown error';             helper.showToastMessage(component, "Failure " + message);         })      ) }   Is that possible to refactor this code to look more like synchronous code and without callback hell or pyramid of doom? I would like to declare functions in tikz for multiple uses of the same function within the code.  Sadly, it seems that the tikz "declare function" is not compatible with the french option in babel. Indeed, the following code (that I simplifed on purpose) runs fine :  \documentclass[english]{article} \usepackage{babel}                       \usepackage{tikz}  \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}     \tikzset{declare function={Carre(\t)=\t*\t;}}     \draw plot [domain=-1:1] (\x,{Carre(\x)}); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   But when I replace   \documentclass[english]{article}   with   \documentclass[english,french]{article}   compilation generates an error. This is what the log file says :     Missing character: There is no = in font nullfont!   Missing character: There is no @ in font nullfont!   Missing character: There is no @ in font nullfont!      Runaway argument?   -1:1] (\x ,{Carre(\x )}); \end {tikzpicture} \end {document}    ! Paragraph ended before \pgfmath@local@@functions was complete.                          \par    l.18       I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this   control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?   My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.   Before posting this, I updated all packages without success.  Any help welcome! Deleted user's posts showing in 'First Posts' queue On Scifi.SE, a user had their account deleted this morning.  Also this morning, about half a dozen of "their" posts were in the First Posts queue.  The posts were all roughly a month old, and they all had the same disassociated user#.   one of them.  Why'd this person's posts show up in the First Posts queue?  Why do a deleted user's posts ever show up in that queue, when it's purpose is to help the community provide feedback to new users?  A deleted user is no longer a member of the community, and they're not even going to be able to act on any feedback. Length of a JavaScript object I am writing a doctoral thesis and I am using  to set the references in APA (American Psychological Association) format. Mostly this has worked perfectly fine, but I would like to suppress the author initials from the compiled version (in-text, not in the end references section). This happens because there are multiple authors with the same name e.g.,     Smith and Jones (1992) or Wells and Smith (1901)    are typeset in-text as:      I. Smith and Jones (1992) or Wells and D. Smith (1901).   Although it may be correct to have the initial in-text in APA format, in reality I am using BPS (British Psychological Society) format, which uses an adapted APA format (and you guessed it, they don't like the initial in text). Thus in-text should look like the first example above (without initial) but looks like the second (with).  To clarify: Any ideas on how to suppress the initial in-text in apacite?  Thanks.  ps. I understand that I could do it with a different bibtex style, but my question pertains to apacite. In my native language, double negations "cancel out". I have been trying to learn English using movies and such things, but double negation confuses me. I see instances when double negation cancels out, and some when they do not.  For example, "I haven't got no money" is interpreted as "I have no money." "There wasn't anyone who didn't enjoy the party" is interpreted as "Everyone enjoyed the party."  Is this context dependent? If so, how does one decide which interpretation is correct? I think it would be very useful.  I have a question that I have an open bounty on. Putting up said bounty brought my reputation below the point where I am allowed to comment on other peoples' posts. It's so frustrating not to be able to comment and give feedback on the answers given!  Especially since it would be helpful, for them, me, and the readers, to know particularly what is good and isn't good about their answer, and therefore give some better guidelines to future answerers on how they can win the bounty. How does MySQL process ORDER BY and LIMIT in a query? How to use siunitx with non numerical values? I understand that something like \SI{5}{\meter\per\second} defines a certain space between the number (5) and units (m/s). What should I use if instead of a numerical quantity I want a variable: R m/s? \SI{R}{\meter\per\second} fails because it expect a number in first parameter, and R \si{\meter\per\second} or $R$ \si{\meter\per\second} show different space.  Which is the correct use?  \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{siunitx} \sisetup{per-mode=symbol} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{r} \SI{5}{\meter\per\second}\\ $R$ \si{\meter\per\second}\\ R \si{\meter\per\second}\\ \end{tabular} \end{document} What is the best way to find the users home directory in Java? The difficulty is that it should be cross platform. Windows 2000, XP, Vista, OSX, Linux, other unix variants. I am looking for a snippet of code that can accomplish this for all platforms, and a way to detect the platform.  Now, you should be aware of  that user.home does not work correctly, so please do not provide me of textbook answers, I can find these myself in the manuals. Problem with patching babel package I am trying to use babel and biblatex package together but I am getting following error:    ! Package biblatex Error: Patching 'babel' package failed.    This is my code example:  \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside,openright]{book} \usepackage{cmap} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[slovak]{babel} \usepackage{xpatch} \usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage{biblatex} \begin{document} \enquote{quote} \end{document}   I would need the result look like this:    Well, it seems like I could get rid of the error when using xpatch package, but it works only when I delete 'slovak' option for babel package. That way the result look like this:    Please, is there any workaround for this problem? I am really stuck in this. Looking to Identify Book that has a large Leviathan type ship on the front The cover has a large Leviathan type ship on the front.   It is set in deep space as the people on said ship have been living there for generations. They come across an abandoned ship and set out to check it out. There are several traps but it seems to be a human ship and they even find a lone woman. Unfortunately she turns out to be an alien and attacks. They end up on a planet where a factory/warehouse is found to contain bodies, they think were eaten/experimented on by the aliens. I thought the book was called Leviathan but can't seem to find it anywhere. I seemed to be an older book from the golden age maybe even up into the 70's but I haven't had any luck yet. Any help I could get finding this would be great,thanks. How do you square an ideal? For some of you, this question is going to seem extremely basic.  I think I understand what an ideal is. Such as $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$, it consists of all numbers in this ring of the form $2a + (1 + \sqrt{-5})b$.  But then what is $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle^2$? My first thought was $\langle 4, -4 + 2 \sqrt{-5} \rangle$, but that seems wrong somehow. I also had something in the back of my mind saying $\langle 2 \rangle$, but I'm not sure about that one either.  Then I thought about trying to figure out $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle \langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$ when I realized I don't actually understand how to multiply ideals to begin with.  I'm only using $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$ as an example (though that does draw in one question identified as similar that looks much more relevant than all the questions identified as "Questions that may already have your answer"). In a principal ideal domain, would it be correct to think that $\langle a \rangle \langle b \rangle = \langle ab \rangle$?  Any help would be much appreciated. How to resize partitions? Previously, I have installed Windows 7 on my 320 GB laptop with three partitions 173, 84 and 63 GB each. The 63 GB partition was where the Windows was installed. The rest were for file containers.  Now I changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I installed Ubuntu by replacing the entire Windows 7 on the 63 GB partition. The rest of the partitions remain as an NTFS Windows partition and I can still access them both (the 173 and 84 GB partitions).  Now I want to change the two partitions of Windows into an Ubuntu format partitions plus most importantly, I want to extend the 63 GB partition to more than a 100 GB because at the moment I am running out of disk space. Whenever I try to install any application, especially using wine, it always complains for a shortage of disk space.  How do I do the extending activity before I entirely format my laptop again and lose all the important files on my partitions? Character Limit in HTML How do you impose a character limit on a text input in HTML? How do I make Chromium use Flash from Google Chrome? Now, that Adobe has stopped issuing new releases for Linux desktops, the only option for users is to use Google Chrome, for those who want to use the latest Flash updates. I use Chromium. Is there any way to get Chromium use the Flash from Google Chrome? The reason I as this question is that I have noticed both these browsers run in the background, so technically, the browsers' plugins are available to use. I have a paradox table from a legacy system I need to run a single query on.  The field names have spaces in them - i.e. "Street 1".
