If a 200 mA power supply is used on a circuit needing 2 amp it would overload the power supply. Two amps equates to 2000 milliamps. Trying to pull 2000 milliamps from a device that is only capable of supplying 200 milliamps is not advisable. The excessive current draw would most likely burn the wires open and render the power supply useless.

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.

How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit alike?

Both take current and energy from the power supply and dissipate power.


What is the current called when it flows from and back to the power supply in a parallel circuit?

The current that flows from and back to the power supply in a parallel circuit is called branch current. Each branch in a parallel circuit has its own current flow that combines to form the total current drawn from the power supply.


What is the flow of an electrical current in a circuit outside the power source?

Usually a circuit is connected to a power source, which could be a battery or an outlet. When this happens current flows through the circuit. The power supply raises electrical charges through the required potential difference, and then in the circuit the charges flow down the potential gradient giving up their energy.


What happens when power supply is overloaded?

When a power supply is overloaded, it can overheat and potentially fail. This can lead to damage to the connected devices, such as a short circuit or a power surge, which can result in data loss or hardware damage. It is important to ensure that the power supply is rated to handle the load requirements of all connected devices to prevent overloading.


What is the condition of maximium power transfer of circuit?

Maximum power transfer happens in a circuit when the resistance of the circuit equals the reactance. Impedance Z = R + jX. At R=X, maximum power transfer happens.
