Question about amperage..

Postby marco_1978_spyder » Sun Dec 28, 2014 2:54 pm

If you have a device that need's 500 Ma. connected to a power source with the correct voltage ..in this case 9vdc.. but also providing 2 amp's.. Will that burn out the device? or will the device only draw what is needed? Does it depend on the device?

It will only draw what is needed. It's like having a 60 watt bulb plugged into a 15amp receptacle in your house, it only draws what is needed.
