when it comes to chargers

there are 2 things


1 volt if it's much higher then it will damage the device if it's much lower the device will not detect the charger


2 amps if the charger can't support enough amps vs. what a device try to draw it will not charge as ohms law result in the amps not being provided will automaticly lower the volts (see 1)


if apple have a support documents in reguard to ohms law I can't say
