No, 9VDC 500mA is not the same as 9VDC 1.5A. While both have the same voltage of 9 volts, they differ in current capacity; 500mA (0.5A) means the device can draw a maximum of 500 milliamps, while 1.5A allows for a maximum of 1,500 milliamps. Therefore, a 9VDC 1.5A power supply can provide more current than a 9VDC 500mA supply, which is important for devices that require higher power. Always match the power supply specifications with the device requirements to avoid damage.

What does 500mA equal to?

500mA = 500 miliamper 1000mA = 1 amp so 500mA = .5 amps


Can you use a 15a 220v fuse for a 15a 32v FUSE?

If it fits you are fine. You are at the same current and the voltage rating is higher.


What is the power when there are 500mA of current through a 4.7k Ω resistor?

p=i square x r = 500ma * 500ma = .25 * 4.7k = 1175 watts


Can a 9V charger be used for 5V?

No. The windings are set for 9vdc and will not step down to 5vdc.


Can you use a 9v dc 200mA ac adaptor in place of a 500mA?

Yes. The current rating should be the same or greater than the original. This means the adapter can supply up to 500mA; In your case it only needs to supply 200mA, so it is more than up to the job.


Is 0.83A the same as 500mA?

No. 0.83 Amperes = 830 milliamperes. 1A = 1000mA, it's a base-ten system, just like meters or liters.


What are the factors of 15a 12?

15a + 12 = 3(5a + 4)


Is it safe to use a 1500ma instead of 500ma battery?

As long as the batteries are putting out the exact same voltage, then yes you can use a battery with a higher ma rating.


What is 15a plus 25?

It is already in its simplest form, so it is: 15a + 25


Diffirence between 7.2V-500mA and 7.2V-1500mA?

If you're talking about batteries, the 1500ma one has 3x longer running time, and can be used, if it fits and the connections are the same.


15a 6a-90 what do that equals to?

If you mean: 15a = 6a - 90 then the variable a works out as -10. If you mean 15a + 6a - 90, then it equals 21a - 90.


Is it ok to use a 4.5v 800mA AC adapter for a device when the original adapter is supposed to be 4.5V 500mA - will it damage the device?

Yes. As long as the voltage is the same which it is. The 800mA is the capacity that the transformer can produce safely without going into an overload state. Your original adapter was rated at 500mA which means that what ever device was plugged into it draws less that 500mA. You might notice that the new adapter is slightly physically larger. So you are safe to use the new adapter with the higher rating.
