Is it possible to over use your power supply in the usb outlet?

Yes.
A standard USB Plug can provide <at usb2.0> 500mA of power. Some devices if poorly made or malfunctioning could draw too much of that power over a chain of devices and cause the port to shut down. It will not, in most cases, damage the power. The port will detect an overage in power demand and shut itself down.
Usb 3.0 allows for at most 900mA of power.

What is two instances does power output become greater?
when you over come an outlet
What is power backup?
Whatever takes over when the main power supply fails.
What are the power supply problems in computer?
They could over heat.
What is the advantage of using a switching power supply over linear power supply?
A: Assuming the same power output the switching type will be lighter in weight and less bulky.
Can CAT5 wire be used to supply power?
Yes. A Cat-5 line can be used to supply power to certain Ethernet Switches that support POE, or Power Over Ethernet.
Which power supply will over heat the least in a desk top system?
Preventing over heating is all about the fan. I would go with the Corsair CMPSU-550VX 550 Watt ATX Power Supply because it has a doubble bearing fan.
How do you wire multilple power outlets and light?
Power into the first outlet and out to all other outlets, black to gold and white to silver screw, ground wires to ground screw. From the outlet closest to the light switch run power from that outlet up to the switch box. Run another wire from the switch box up to the light. In the switch box tie all the whites together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Tie all the ground wires together and connect that to the ground screw on the switch. Connect the 2 black wires you have left to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which if you only have power in and power out to the light.
Are there power adapters so I can use my PC over seas?
There are plenty of power converters that plug into a wall outlet and let you use your PC overseas in Europe or Australia.
Can the power supply cause the computer to be difficult to turn on?
Yes. If the power supply is of a low wattage and has too many pieces of hardware connected to it, it can. Try buying a power supply with a wattage over 300. One thing to check before replacing the power supply is the voltage selector in the back. If you use 120 volt power, then setting the power supply to 240 volts will cause the PC to only get half of the power it needs. External peripherals with their own power supply will not impact the power supply or current in the computer. Printers and monitors usually get their power from the wall socket, not the computer, and the same goes for external modems that plug into the wall. Keyboards and mice take negligible power.
What happens if a 2 amp power supply is used on a circuit needing 200 mA?
Everything would work as designed if you used a 2 amp power supply for a 200 ma circuit.It's important to not go OVER the designed capacity of the power supply, and in fact, it's a good idea to make sure the power supply has at least double the capacity of the load current.
What is backup power source?
the different types of fuels that can be used to produce electricity
What is another word for soft power supply?
A soft power supply refers to a supply with poorvoltage regulation, which is defined as the ability of a system to provide near constant voltage over a wide range of load conditions. For example poor power line voltage regulation (a soft supply) causes lights in a home to dim each time the refrigerator starts.
