Best Answer

In theory yes you can. The theoretical current draw would be .5 (500 milliamps) x 2 = 1 amp. However, in practice this would not be advisable.

You should allow for surges and other unforeseeable issues. Allow 20% for those probabilities and you should be safe. This would be about 1.2 - 1.5 amperes on your source end.

How many model rail station 12v lamps can you wire in sequence on a 500 miliamp dc adaptor?

500 milliamp = 1/2 amp. Have to know the wattage of the lamps or the resistance of one lamp to give an answer.


What does milliamp hours mean?

A milliamp-hour is one thousanth of an amp-hour. For example: if you have a fully charged battery of 500 mAh (milliamp-hours), it is able to feed a lamp which draws a current of 500 mA for one hour. It also is able to feed a mobile phone in standby over a period of 50 hours, if it draws a current of 10 mA.Alternative AnswerA milliampere hour (not 'milliamp hour'!) is one-thousandth of an ampere hour, which is a unit of electrical charge. The SI unit for charge is a coulomb, which is a special name given to an ampere second. So, and ampere hour is 60 x 60, or 360 times larger than a coulomb.

How do the milliamp ratings of LEDs 20ma and a 12 volt 1000ma power supply figure into the resistor equations or do they not?

A: Since you know the current flow you need the voltage drop for this particular led at 20ma. All LED require a current and voltage to operate properly assuming a voltage drop of 2v then for a 12v source it becomes 12-2=10v 10v/.02=500 ohms in series to limit the current is required

What maximum number of USB devices can be connected to a PC?

This depends on if you use the other ports on your computer to connect devices to also. If you only use the USB port and connect it to USB hub's you can connect up to 126 devices. Without using any USB hubs you will be limited to only one USB device.

Can you use a 9volt 500 milliamp transformer for a door bell?

The key is the door bell specification. They typically run on a 24 VAC transformer. You can certainly hook it up and try it with 9 volts, but it probably won't work as intended. 24 Volt transformers are relatively cheap.
