120 V, 60 Hz to 230 V, 50 Hz
While in India, I hope continue to add entries to this blog. I plan to bring my small computer to help with my teaching and to access the Internet (when available). In order to use my computer, however, I will need electricity! In the United States, electricity is delivered as 120 V, 60 Hz; in India, electricity is delivered as 230 V, 50 Hz.

The solution to this problem is really quite simple: an adapter. My computer power cord will be plugged into the adapter and then the adapter, with the correct outlet configuation, is plugged into the wall. I just hope I will be able to find the correct adapter at a store here in Seattle.
