As far as the official specifications are concerned an rPi can be powered with supplies from 5V to 12 V. Typical current for 5V supply is 2A. Total power required for an rPi is 10W roughly.
I have two power supplies (5V, 2A) and (10V, 1A)
which one to be used so that the pi dissipates less amount of heat while in operation?
Why?
If in a given scenario, one has a blackbox with a power requirement of 10W irrespective of Voltage & current (lets assume the voltage bracket is 5V to 12V and current bracket is 1A to 3A) then which power supply you would go for? and why?
Any clarification shall be appreciated.
Thanks.
