How do you calculate the amount of current that will go through the resistor a 12 volt battery a resistor of 470 ohms?
Ohm's Law: Current is voltage divided by resistance.
12 volts divided by 470 ohms is 25.5 milliamperes.
Power is voltage times current, so power in this case would be 12 volts times 25.5 milliamperes, or 0.306 watts. As a result, you need at least a one half watt resistor, and I would prefer a one watt resistor, because it is going to get a bit warm, and a margin of safety is always a good thing. This is particularly true when you consider tolerances, such as the battery actually putting out 13 or 14 volts and the resistor being on the low side, at 470 - 10%, or 423 ohms. (0.463 watts - too close to one half watt for comfort)
What else can I help you with?
If two bulbs in a series are connect to a battery and the current in the first bulb is found to be 1 ampere then what is the current through the battery?
A circuit with a 2 ohm resistor and a 4 ohm resistor in series with a 12 volt battery will have 2 amps flowing through each resistor. The current is the same in each resistor because they are in series, and a series circuit has constant current throughout.

What is the current through a 20 ohm resistor that is connected to a hundred full power supply?
To calculate the current through a 20-ohm resistor connected to a 100-volt power supply, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) equals voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). Here, ( I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{100 \text{ volts}}{20 \text{ ohms}} = 5 \text{ amperes} ). Therefore, the current through the resistor is 5 amperes.
When electric circuit is closed no current flow through it IS the statement is correct?
yes... this is possible if a diode i connected in reverse bias with a battery and a resistor for example. A diode in reverse bias means its anode will be connected to positive terminal of the battery and its cathode to the negative terminal of the battery. In such a case, minimal current flows through the circuit which can be neglected.
What size of resistor is required to operate the LED from a 9V battery?
In order to determine what size of resistor is required to operate an LED from a 9V battery, first start by knowing the current and voltage required for the LED. That information is available in the LED's specifications. For discussion purposes, lets assume a typical LED at 2.5V and 50mW. The translates to a forward current of 20mA. Build a simple series circuit containing a 9V battery, a resistor of an as yet unknown value, and the LED. By Kirchoff's current law, the current in the LED is the same as the current in the resistor, which is also the same as the current in the battery. This is 20ma. By Kirchoff's voltage law, the voltage across the LED plus the voltage across the resistor equals the voltage across the battery. This is 6.5V. (9 - 2.5) By Ohm's law, resistance is voltage divided by current, so the resistor is 6.5 / 0.02, or 325 Ohms. The nearest standard value to that is 330 Ohms. Cross check the power through the resistor. Power is voltage times current, or 6.5V times 0.02A, or 0.13W. A half watt resistor is more than adequate for this job.

A circuit has a battery connected to resistor 1 and resistor 1 is connected to resistor 2 which is then connected back to the battery what can be said about this circuit?
This circuit is a series circuit, as the current flows sequentially through resistor 1, then through resistor 2, before returning to the battery. The same current passes through both resistors, and the total resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. The voltage across the circuit is divided between the two resistors according to their resistance values. Additionally, if one resistor fails, the entire circuit will be interrupted, stopping the current flow.
A 120 oh resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. What is te current running through te 40 ohm resistor?
To find the current through the 40 ohm resistor, first calculate the total resistance of the parallel circuit: 1/Rt = 1/120 + 1/60 + 1/40. Then, calculate the total current using Ohm's Law, I = V/Rt. Finally, use the current divider rule to find the current passing through the 40 ohm resistor.
Does current flow through a resistor, or does it flow across a resistor?
Current flows through a resistor, not across it.
How does current change through a resistor?
When an electric current flows through a resistor, the resistor resists the flow of the current, causing a decrease in the current. This decrease in current is proportional to the resistance of the resistor, as described by Ohm's Law.
What is direct current through resistor of 1 k-Ohm connected with12 volt battery?
12 milliamps
Does current flow through a resistor or across a resistor?
Normally through the resistor's internal construction. It flows through any part of the resistor that has low resistance- be it anywere. And then there's this. It might be that one should consider that current flows through a resistor and voltage is dropped across a resistor. Perhaps this is where the question began. The former is fairly straight forward. The latter can be vexing. Voltage is said to be dropped across a resistor when current is flowing through it. The voltage drop may be also considered as the voltage measureable across that resistor or the voltage "felt" by that resistor. It's as if that resistor was in a circuit by itself and hooked up to a battery of that equivalent voltage.

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.

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.
