      XPost: sci.electronics.basics       From: tgm2tothe10thpower@replacetextwithnumber.hotmail.com              Hugely fundamentally ignorant question.              If I have an electronics device that claims to take a power adapter of 12V       200mA, and I plug in one rated at 12V 800mA, will the device merely draw the       proper 200mA (because the voltages are matched)?              Or is there something about PA's that can somehow force too much current       into a device?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
