is there a way I can charge ipad air 3rd gen using the headphone jack and an adapter?

So my iPad air (3rd generation) got part of a charger stuck in the lightning port. I am still trying to get it removed, it just now is about to die I am wondering if there is an adapter that I can get that would connect to for ex. a lightning to aux adapter (which I already have) which would then connect the other end of it (lightning) into another adapter, which would then be able to plug into the wall or a computer and charge it using the headphone jack and an adapter (or two)?

iPad Air 3, iPadOS 16

If a Lightning plug has broken and is stuck in the Lightning port of your iPad, you’ll not be able to charge the iPad until the broken connector has been removed.


For removal of a broken connector, you would be best advised to entrust removal the the technicians at the Genius Bar at either an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - as they have appropriate specialist tools and expertise to remove the item without causing additional damage to the device:
