Scenario - use a 5 volt supply to charge and a phone with 2G basic features and simultaneously charge Android tablet from the same 5 volt supply erroneous interchanging the chargers. What is the impact of this on the the appropriate devices ?

Solution - the supply to both the chargers is 5 volts, the current drawn by the the 2G phone charger is 550 mA and the current drawn by the tablet is 1550 mA. using the tablet charger for the mobile causes the mobile to draw the right current without any damage to the phone because 1550 mA is greater than 550 mA. the opposite scenario creates a situation where 550 mA is drawn from 1550 mA supply which does not harm the current device, that is the tablet, but charges the tablet slowly because the phone charger cannot provide more than 550 mA maximum supply.

Conclusion - USB is a universal standard for Android devices. using the same supply voltage with different current drawn in different cases can result in using the same charger across multiple devices but the set device may take longer to charge if requires larger current then the charger can provide 😎

Postscript - Android devices provide an environment which we can use effectively with USB chargers. 😊

Definitely PTE

#DefinitelyPTE A Man is like a tree.  Once a tree's roots bind to the soil, it develops an identity that is integrated with it's environment.  With a Man, the logic is similar. A Man is not just domiciled to his place of origin.... He is synonymous with it . The diet, language, climate, social laws and mores become an assimilated part of his identity. Let us look at these factors one by one - 1. Diet - This is a big problem when a person relocates. If he is a vegan or vegetarian , he may not find many options to tickle his palate. Also lack of additives like spices, may make his food look unappetizing. 2. Language - Relocating to China .... Need to know Mandarin ! In many countries people are not fluent in English, and this can make life very frustrating. 3. Climate - In Europe and North America (Canada and the Northern states of the US), the weather can be inclement. (Tornadoes, Twisters etc.), particularly the Mid-West of the US. You may find it to...

Chess blogging - Chessbase is back with a bang !

In view of my keen interest in UI for applications and websites, I feel it necessary to promote an investigation of the new play-chess interface on www.chessbase.com . * It is minimalistic * Allows you to play as Guest * Allows you to choose from different time-controls * Allows you to test your skills vis-a-vis opponents from across the globe Have a look at this interface, that is impressive from a UI developers point-of-view, and very conducive for a chess player to test his wits !  Whoa !  😇😇😇
