Hello all,
I'm using a motor driver for my application that has been rated as 5 Amp max but the load can leech more than 5 Amps if that much current is available.
I'm using a 12 v power source
However my power source may vary over time and may exceed 5 Amp but voltage will always remain at 12 v
So if I connect a 2.4 Ohm resistor in series then as per ohm's law the current will never exceed 5 Amps.
Is that correct?
also if when I use a power source with less supply than 5Amp will the limiting resistor lower the current further?
