Is it possible to generate current of 1000 AMPS using a 1V Battery and resistor of value 0.001ohms?

Yes, but this condition is such an extreme one that:
- you must include the internal resistance of the battery when calculating the current
- you must include the resistance of all the wires when calculating the current
- it is unlikely you can find a 1V battery with high enough AHr rating to do this for more than a tiny moment of time before it dies
- a resistor having a value of 0.001 ohms is usually just called a wire
- 1000 amperes of current, if you do get it, will melt all standard gauges of wire (even 0000 the largest, which is almost 1/2 an inch in diameter); to get a "wire" that can safely conduct this much current it will need to be several inches in diameter!!!
The only way you could do it exactly as you describe in your question is with perfect ideal components, which just do not exist in the real world.
But if redesigned to allow for the nonzero resistances of real components, using a low internal resistance voltage source (but probably not a battery), using large diameter copper bars (not wires) that can safely carry 1000 amperes, and getting permission from your power company to connect directly into a substation for power (not on a standard home or industrial distribution line); you can do something similar.

How much power is consumed through a 3 amp?
-- If the 3 Amp is being drawn from a battery,then the battery is supplying3 x (Voltage of the battery) watts.-- If the 3 Amp is flowing through a resistor,then the resistor is dissipating9 x (Resistance of the resistor) watts.
If you have a 12point6V battery and a 9V receiver how can you work out which resistor is needed?
you better not. you need a 9V regulator for this, not a resistor!
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.
In a simple circuit is a battery in series or parallel with the resistor?
In series.
Calculate the power used in 2ohm resistor in each what circuits- 1 a 6V battery in series wid 1ohm and 2ohm resistors 2 a 4V battery in parallel wid 12ohm and 2ohm resistors?
1). 6V battery, 1-ohm resistor, 2-ohm resistor, all in series:Total resistance = 3 ohms.Current in the loop = 6/3 = 2 amperesPower dissipated by the 2-ohm resistor - I2R = 8 watts.2). 4V battery, 12-ohm resistor, 2-ohm resistor, all in parallelThe 12-ohm resistor is irrelevant.4 volts across the 2-ohm resistor.Power dissipated by the 2-ohm resistor = E2/R = 8 watts.
What is the resistor of 18 ohms when connected to a 9v battery?
Even though it is connected to a 9 volt source, it is still a resistor.
When a battery is discharged and can no longer generate a current what can be concluded?
The battery is as flat as a pig's nose !
How much work does a battery connected to a 21 ohm resistor perform in one minute?
That completely depends on the voltage of the battery.The energy delivered by the battery and dissipated by the resistor in one minute will be[ 60 x (Voltage of the battery)2 / 21 ] joules
What would be a basic electical circuit?
a battery and a resistor connected together.
How do you built a very simple circuit?
wire a resistor across a battery. that is about as simple as it gets. the resistor could be an incandescent light bulb.
What is the function of a battery in a parallel curcuit?
a battery in an electric circuit is used to generate the power supply.
How far can the electric current of a Duracell battery travel through a long crocodile clip?
All the way along when the crocodile clip is connected to a resistor, when the other end of the resistor is connected to the other side of the battery.
