Feb 20, 2016 at 18:33 comment added Olin Lathrop @Unde: Look up "Ohm's Law". Current thru a resistor causes a voltage drop across it. Also, again, a 200 mA power supply isn't going to work right when you try to draw 300 mA. If it did, it would be sold for more money as a 300 mA supply.
Feb 20, 2016 at 18:28 comment added SandBag_1996 I understood the part where processors fail to operate properly due to low voltage. Can you explain the voltage drop bit more? I still dont understand why would the voltage drop to lower value with more current? I am sorry for the noob question.
