What is the difference?
- 1Function: Converter changes the form or function of something, while adapter modifies the connection between two objects.
- 2Compatibility: Converter can make two incompatible things work together by transforming them, while adapter makes two incompatible things work together by modifying their connection.
- 3Design: Converter is designed to change the form or function of something, while adapter is designed to modify the connection between two objects.
- 4Usage: Converter is used when the original form or function is not suitable or compatible, while adapter is used when the original connection is not suitable or compatible.
- 5Examples: Converter can be used to change the voltage, format, or energy type, while adapter can be used to adjust the size, shape, or type of connection.
Remember this!
Converter and adapter are both devices that modify or transform something, but they differ in their function, design, and usage. A converter changes the form or function of something, while an adapter modifies the connection between two objects. A converter is used when the original form or function is not suitable or compatible, while an adapter is used when the original connection is not suitable or compatible.
