Question

What is the optimum supply current that is required to operate the ESP8266 WiFi Module?

(a) 28 A

(b) 13 mA

(c) 100 mA

(d) 1 A

I got this question during an internship interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of ESP8266 Wifi Module in chapter Interfacing of Sensors, Actuators, and Other Modules of Arduino

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) 100 mA

To explain: The current rating on the ESP8266 WiFi Module is given so that users can know what is the optimum current that needs to be fed to the module such that the internal electronics is not destroyed by excess current.
