Home » Resistance » 2 » a Two resistors are connected in parallel and are connected across a 40 volt battery. If each resistor is 1000 ohms, the total battery current is: a. b. 40 milliampere c. 80 ampere d. 80 milliampere Your answer "a" is not correct. "d" is the right answer. Current through one resistor: I = E / R = 40 / 1000 = 40 mA As there are two resistors, there will be twice the current. Next |
