Hi all, forgive me if this is a ridiculous question. I'm really not
sure if electricity isn't just a fancy word for magic!
I have a ac charger for my laptop that is 19V and 6A
I also have an ac charger that is not made for my laptop, but is 19V
and 3A
Is it safe to use the second charger with my laptop, or will the
battery explode, killing me and those I hold dearest?

The voltage rating of a power supply tells you what voltage (electron
pressure) it outputs, and the amp rating tells you how much current it can
output (how many electrons per second, where 1 A = some enormous number of
electrons per second).

If your computer needs 6 A then 3 A will not power it adequately.
