The job of a computer power supply is to give power to the computer even when it doesn't have any power. It is normally your adapter that comes with the computer.

The power supply unit (PSU) simply powers the various parts of a desktop computer. You could think of it as a surge protector for your computer, allowing you to plug everything you need power into it, instead of into individual power plugs, so you only have one power cord coming from the back of the computer, instead of over a dozen.

Power supplies are normally units that adapt the incoming current from a "mains" source and convert it to a lower (regulated) voltage that can be used by an appliance.

They are commonly found in computers, charger units, low voltage lighting systems etc.
