power supply and sensor
Not what you're looking for?
A power supply outputs 24VDC at 3A. I have a sensor that needs 24VDC at 100mA. If I do ohms law V/I = R I then do 24VDC/100mA and get 240 for resistance. My wire will go from the supply terminal block through a series wire then a resistor to my sensor. Will this method at 240 ohms reduce my current to 100mA from 3A. If not how calculate? I do not know sensor resistance if needed?
2) Now, does this method also work for V/R = I in this same scenario?
