Two resistors. A (20Ω) and B (30Ω), are connected in parallel. The combination is connected to a 3 V battery. The current through the battery is?

A0.15 A

B0.30 A

C0.50 A

D0.25 A

Answer:

The current through the battery is 0.25 A.

The amount of obstruction to current passage in an electrical circuit is measured as resistance.

Ohms, a unit of measurement for resistance, are represented by the Greek letter omega (Ω).

Electrical charge carriers, often electrons or atoms with a deficiency in electrons, travel in current.

The ampere, denoted by the letter A, is the standard unit.
