Can I use 5V 1A Adapter to power Arduino UNO? I have two Adapters, one is rated as Output 12V 500mA (used to power an old modem) and another one is rated as 5V 1A (old mobile phone charger).

My question is can use any of these to power my Arduino UNO with a barrel connector?

What does it mean when any adapter is rated as Output DC 5V 1A, Does it mean maximum we can draw 1A of current through it? What will happen if I draw more current than that.
If we look at technical specifications, it is recommended to supply voltage from 7-12V so use your adapter 12V/500mA (never go above 20V). 5V/1A adapter is not enough when connecting via DC barrel jack according to technical specifications.
