Can I use a 5V adapter for 6V device?

The short answer is No. A 5V, 2A adapter gives 10W of power and the 6V,1A gives only 6W. That is only scraping the surface. Transistors are present in almost every electronic device today.

Can I plug 6V into 5V?

If you’re mildly comfortable with electronic circuits, you could convert the 6V adapter to 5V. This can be done by hooking up the output of the adapter to a simple 5V linear regulator (the 7805) — the dropout would probably be low enough at 200mA to supply 5V.

Can I use 5.5 V 5V?

Senior Member. I would refrain from feeding 5V device with a 5.5V power source, especially considering this 5.5V is probably going straight into to the VBus line of the USB client hardware, not just into charging circuits. Also, saying that “the amps never matter they are pulled not pushed” is WRONG.

How do I get 5V from 6V?

1. Pass the 6 V to a base of NPN transistor and take Output at Emitter ; you will gt around 5.3 V — Then connect a small series resistor , in series , before load you will get 5 V.
2. Connect 6 equal Value Resistors in series between 6V and Ground ; Take output at 5th Resistor from ground ; you will get 5V.

What is the difference between a 5V and 2A power adapter?

The 5v is a voltage rating, the 2A is a current rating. The voltage rating of the wall adapter and the device are equal, so that’s not a problem. You would have a problem if they were different.

What happens if the voltage is too high on a power adapter?

Usually, an under-voltage condition won’t cause damage or shorten the life of your device. Voltage too high – If the adapter has a higher voltage, but the current is the same, then the device will likely shut itself off when it detects an overvoltage.

What is the difference between current and voltage on a wall adapter?

Current (measured in Amps) is the amount of current (literally, electrons) flowing. For an adapter, t Assuming the wall adapter is rated at “5V 2A” and the device is rated at “5V 1.5A”, then — yes — this is perfectly OK. Why? Voltage (measured in Volts) is the electrical “pressure” or “force” — both adapter and device need to be the same.

What happens if you plug a 110V into a 220V socket?

Plug a device expecting 110 volts into a 220-volt socket, and you’ll probably see sparks followed by darkness as the circuit breaker trips. You’re also likely to damage the device. Most of the time.
