Question What type of electrical socket for Laptops does EK use?

Does anyone know what type of socket Emirates uses on its aircraft for plugging in laptops?
I will be travelling on their A340-500 DXB - CHC.

Thanks

On the A340-500 & 777-300ER, the FA passes me an adapter for the socket at my seat in J. I think the adapter can accept most plugs. So far, I haven't come across the sockets at the seats on the A330.

Just to clarify, it is not a 12v system (at least on the 777-300 I've just come off) it's 120v with a dual flat pin and round pin socket, ie a regular USA/European wall socket. Most laptop power supplies nowadays will operate 100-240v so it's just a case of making sure you can make the physical connection to the socket, and sounds like the FAs can facilitate adaptors for UK and other types.
