I will be using all of the following sensors at the same time on raspberry pi b+ model with 2Amp power supply.

1) DHT-11 Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor for temperature and humidity measurement

2) HC-SR501 PYROELECTRIC INFRARED PIR MOTION SENSOR for motion sensing

3) Soil Hygrometer Humidity Detection Module Moisture Testing Sensor for soil moisture

4) HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor for measuring distance

I'm not sure whether the current will be enough for all the sensors and a wifi adopter connected to it. So can I supply current externally to HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor(needs 5V) and the HC-SR501 PYROELECTRIC INFRARED PIR MOTION SENSOR (needs 3.6V) through a DC power supply

Deja Vu.

A 2 amp power supply will be enough to power the Pi and sensors 1, 2, and 4.

It may be enough for 3) and an unknown wifi but as you don't say what they are that is impossible to answer.

Rather than asking, what I consider silly questions, why don't you just try?

    The only possible harm is a corrupted SD card which you would need to rewrite. I consider that risk is so small I would ignore the possibilty.
