Question

A foreign exchange student brought his desktop computer from his home in Europe to the United States. He brought a power adapter so that the power cord would plug into the power outlet. He tried turning on his computer, but it wouldn't power on. What is likely the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

Desktop computer is probably single-voltage

Explanation:

The problem is most likely as a result of voltage difference. He have to get a dual-voltage switch that can accept both 110-120V and 220-240V. As the voltage of the the United States will most likely be different from the voltage in his home country.  Or get a power adapter (single voltage) that suits the voltage of the US.
