POWER SUPPLY UNIT is also called as

power supply or PSU. This is the device

that supplies power to your personal
computer. Although you could plug the
personal computers directly into standard
electrical outlets, the power supply then
pulls the required amount of electricity and
converts the AC current to DC current and
it also regulates the voltage to eliminate
spikes and surges common in most
electrical systems.
When referring to computer hardware, a form
factor is a specification of physical dimensions,
layouts, and other explicit information that helps
ensure the hardware works with products that
support that form factor. Form factors help
prevent incompatibilities between multiple
hardware manufacturers.
