What is the current of a 1.5 volts battery?

That depends on the resistance connected. Use Ohm's Law: V=IR. Solving for current: I = V/R. If nothing is connected, there will be no current (infinite resistance).


What is the current in a 1.5V Alkaline battery?

The current depends on what is connected to the battery's terminals. If nothing is connected to it, then there is no current, and the battery lasts quite a while. In general, the current is 1.5/resistance of the external circuit connected to the battery until that number gets too big, and then the voltage of the battery sags, because it can't deliver that much current.


When electric current is following in a curcuit if the voltage applied to the curcuit is increased the resistance will decrease true or false?

true


What is the resistance in a discman if it is connected to an 8.6V battery and draws a current of 0.9 Amperes?

I have no idea


How much current does a size D battery have?

Doesn't work like that. Current drain is dependent on the (internal resistance of the battery and the) resistance/power requirements of what's connected to the battery. If shorted out, the current - unless the battery is fused or otherwise protected - can go into tens of amps.


A wire with resistance R is connected to the terminals of a 30 V battery. What is the current through the wire if the wire has the resistance?

Your current will be 30/R Amps. Where R is the resistance in Ohms.


How many amperes does a 6 volt DC battery put out?

That will depend on the sum of the load resistance and the internal resistance of the battery (this is true for all power sources, not just 6 volt batteries). Small compact batteries tend to have higher internal resistance and therefore are more limited in the current they can deliver to a given load than larger batteries.


A 19 V battery delivers 114 mA of current when connected to a 72 resistor. Determine the internal resistance of the battery.?

Internal resistance is approximately equal to 94.667


When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?

The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.


When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?

The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.


A red resistor draws more current than a blue resistor when they are connected to the same battery which resistor has the lower resistance?

The voltage of a battery goes as the current times the resistance (V=IR). Because the voltage is being held constant, the resistor that draws the most current will have the lower resistance.


When a 12 volt battery is connected across an unkown resistance there is a current of 2.5m amphere in the circuit find the value of resistance of the resistor?

4.8 ohms
