IOW -- the current *is* determined by the supply. :-)

If you hooked a 10 amp supply to a toothpick would it draw 10 amps?


If it's a 1-ohm toothpick.

Multiple choice....

Assume a fixed resistance of 1 ohm, and a 10 volt power supply
rated at 5 amps. What will best determine the current draw?

A. The current draw will be the measured voltage.

B. The supplies rating of 5 amps
