Good day,
II am confused by the use of these three terms in conjugation with supplies.
I

I read somewhere that the prime objective of the circuit is to provide power rather than voltage  ? What exactly does that mean. Isn't \$Power=IV\$ \$Power = IV\$? So saying that you're supplying power rather than voltage is another way of saying supplying a large current. If so why not just say so. Why beat around the bush when saying a current supply is far more intuitive than a power supply  ?
So

So what does this cryptic sentence mean,: "Supplying power to the load"load." Do they mean a large current or a large voltage  ?
Thanks
