The question is incomplete without the voltage across the resistor.

For example:

if V (Voltage across 500 ohm resistor) = 5 Volts,

then,

Current, I = 5/500 Ampere = 0.01 A.

A 120 ohm resisto a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source What is the current running through the 60 ohm resistor?

If they're in parallel, then each resistor acts as if it were the only one,and the presence of any others is irrelevant.The current through the 60-ohm resistor is I = E/R = (120/60) = 2 amperes.


If 2 resistors or resistance 10 ohm and 5 ohm resp r connected in parallel which will get more heated?

The 5 Ohm resistor will have more current passing through it than the 10 ohm resistor. Since the resistors are in parallel the Voltage across each resistor is the same. Power or the amount of heat in terms of the question can be derived from Power = Voltage * Current. Ohm's law tells us that the current flowing through a resistor is equal to the Voltage across the resistor divided by the resistance. The formula for power is then the Voltage * Voltage / Resistance. Since V^2 / 10 is smaller than V^2 / 5 we know that the 5 ohm resistor will always have more power dissipated than the 10 ohm resistor.


What is the current through the 150 ohm resistor?

It depends on the voltage applied across it. But the maximum current is limited by the power-rating of the resistor (power divided by the square of the voltage).


A 5 ohm resistor a 20 ohm resistor and a 25 ohm resistor are all connected in series to a 100 volt power source The current running through the circuit is?

E/R=I. 100/50=2 amps.


Why use a 500 ohm power resistor?

500 ohm resistance is widely used to convert 4-20 ma current signals generated by a wide range of sensors into voltage signals. It provides 2 to 10 volts to the device. E=IxR.


A 120 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source what is the current running through the 40ohm resitor?

The current through the 40-ohm resistor is ( E / R ) = (120 / 40) = 3 amperes.The current through the 40-ohm resistor doesn't depend on the 120-ohm resistor. It's the samewhether the 120-ohm is there or not. It would also be the same if there were any other resistor,with any other resistance, connected in place of the 120-ohm resistor. It would also be the sameif there were 3,000 more resistors in parallel, with all different values of resistance (as long asthe whole conglomeration didn't exceed the capabilities of the power source).


What crrent does a 203-ohm resistor draw from a 115 V power supply?

Ohm's law: current equals voltage divided by resistance, so a 203 ohm resistor would draw 0.57 amperes from a 115 volt power supply.


A 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor What is the current in the circuit?

If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in series, the current in the circuit is 1.0 amperes. If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in parallel, the current in the circuit is 0.5 amperes.


A 120 ohm resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source What is the current running through the 120 ohm resister?

If they're in parallel, then the resistors have no effect on each other. The current through each one is the same as it would be if the others were not there at all. The current through the 120Ω resistor is 120 volts/120Ω = 1 Ampere. The 60Ω and the 40Ω are red herring resistors.
