Home » Resistance » 2 » d 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.   40 ampere   b.   40 milliampere   c.   80 ampere   d.   80 milliampere Your answer "d" is CORRECT! Current through one resistor: I = E / R = 40 / 1000 = 40 mA As there are two resistors, there will be twice the current. Next
