It's like a pipe, but the water stays still?

I do not get electricity. Luckily, that's not a prerequisite for purchasing and using it. Otherwise I would be in trouble. Can anybody help me with this?

I have a new laptop, with an AC adapter as listed below. I also have a spare AC adapter from another computer (but the same company), with slightly different specs. The connector is the same, so it's physically possible to plug in either one. What I want to know is, is it OK for me to plug in either one? I've been told by someone smarter than me that I should not. Just wondering why.
