power adapters, amperage, and power consumption

given two power adapters that produce the same voltage, supplying the same device -

if one power adapter has a higher amperage rating, does it draw more current?

(i'm trying to figure out if its wasteful to use a power adapter rated for more than a device requires)


No, the amperage rating is how much current it can provide to a load.
