Can you use a device requiring 5 volts and 2 Amp with an adapter supplying 5 volts and 1 Amps?

The supply device must have an output voltage that matches that of the load, and a current rating that exceeds that of the load. So you cannot use a load that draws 2 A from a supply device that is rated at only 1 A.
