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? What should you warn him about when he returns home at the end of the year?

Answer 1

The European plug takes up 220 volts while the American one takes 110 volts.

Answer 2

The most likely problem is:

• The European plug has a different volt to the American plug

What I should warn him about when he returns home at the end of the year is:

• He should get additional American and European power adapters

According to the given question, we are asked to find out the possible problem which a foreign student has with this computer coming on when he plugged in a European power adapter.

As a result of this, we can see that the foreign exchange student forgot that the European power adapter is very different from that of an American plug and because of this, his computer would not come on.

With this in mind, it would be helpful to him to always have a standby American plug for when he is in the States and a European one when he is in Europe.
