voltage rating if a device says it needs a particular voltage, then you have to assume it needs that voltage. both lower and higher could be bad. at best, with lower voltage the device will not operate correctly in a obvious way. however, some devices might appear to operate correctly, then fail in unexpected ways unde...

s requirements. for example, if a unlabeled device was powered from a 9 v and 1 a supply, you can replace it with a 9 v and 1 or more amp supply. advanced concepts the above gives the basics of how to pick a power supply for some device. in most cases that is all you need to know to go to a store or on line and buy a p...

smoke. however, nowadays, the most likely response is that the supply will drop its output voltage to whatever is necessary to not exceed the output current. this is called current limiting. often the current limit is set a little higher than the rating to provide some margin. the " 12 v 1 a " supply might limit the cu...

short answer : your confusion about whether ten is special may come from reading aloud " every base is base 10 " as " every base is base ten " — this is wrong ; not every base is base ten, only base ten is base ten. it is a joke that works better in writing. if you want to read it aloud, you should read it as " every b...
