Hello All.

Is it at all useful (or accurate) to think of volts as being "pushed" around a circuit by the power supply and amps as being "drawn" by the components fed by it? In other words, is it right to work on the assumption that a power supply that exceeds the voltage rating of the components its feeds might damage them, but will probably not get damaged itself. Conversely, working on the assumption that a power supply whose maximum amperage rating is below that of the components its feeds might itself get damaged, but that the components will not.

Is that broadly correct, or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Thanks. Terry.
