The electric current from the batteries installed in a radio supplies direct current (DC) electricity to the radio components directly as an alternative source to the Alternating Current (AC) converted to DC by the power unit located at the radio end of the cable plugged into the wall outlet.
Explanation:
Part of the power unit in a radio includes an AC to DC converter, which is an electrical circuit that is able to convert the alternating current power input from the wall outlet into a direct current output to the radio with which the radio can work
The alternative source of electric current from the batteries installed in a radio bypasses the AC to DC converter and supplies power directly to the radio so it can also work.
