AC adapters are used to give electronic equipment that normally runs on batteries the opportunity to plug into a wall outlet. This cuts down on the amount of money you need to spend on batteries, and also extends the run-time of the appliance/electronics indefinitely.

yes but the device will not work property or nor work at all <<>> No, the 100 mA adapter will be too small to operate a device that requires 300 mA for its operation. By trying to draw a higher current than the adapter can supply, the adapter will heat up and possibly burn itself open. In other words the adapter will stop working.

What if I Used wrong ac adapter in electronic device?
If the AC adapter gives too little voltage, the electronic device will probably not work. If it gives too high a voltage, you will probably burn out the electronic device, which will have to be replaced or rewired. If the AC adapter is too weak (provides less milli-amperes than the device needs), the AC adapter can burn out. In summary, you need to check: (a) that the adapter should have the correct voltage, and (b) that it provides the required amount of milliamperes (or more) for the device.
