Use the equation V = I * R
20 = I * 5000
I = 20 / 5000
I = 0.004 Amps
The answer to your question is 4 mA of current will flow through the resistor.

Why you need to connect resistor in series for the practical voltage source?
A resistor is connected in series with a practical voltage source in order to determine the current produced by the source.
What is the importance of determining of resistor values?
it is used to check or verify how much current pass through the circuit using voltage source.
A series RC circuit will have a phase shift between 0 and 90 degrees?
If there are only a resistor and a capacitor in the circuit, then the phase shift will indeed be between 0 and 90 degrees. When the resistor and capacitor are in series, the phase shift will be negative when the capacitor is connected to a source voltage and the resistor is the load. The phase shift will be positive when the resistor is connected to the source. The lower the values of R and C, the higher the frequency bandwidth.With the resistor and capacitor connected in series and the two parts connected to a current source, the phase shift will be negative. At high frequencies, the output voltages is lower, and the circuit appears as a very low impedance. At low frequencies, the circuit looks more like a resistor. Again, the phase shift will be between 0 and 90 degrees.CommentThe correct term is phase angle, not 'phase shift'. By definition, the phase angle is the angle by which the load current leads or lags the supply voltage. For an RC circuit, the current leads the voltage, so the phase angle is a leading phase angle.
What is load current?
It is a the current drawn by the application that is connected to the power source
What is the phase angle of an ohm inductor in series with an ohm resistor connected to a 5 KHz source?
You need to provide values of resistor and inductor etc to find the phase angle.
Will current flow in a higher resistance or in lower resistance if they are connected in parallel to a voltage source?
Current will always flow in both resistors, but the one with the lower resistance will have more current flow through it. The value of the current in each resistor is calculated by dividing the voltage of the source by the resistance of the individual resistor. As long as the capability of the power source isn't exceeded, the current through each resistor isn't affected by the presence of the other resistor. Said another way, if two resistors are connected in parallel across a source, neither one "cares" that the other resistor is connected across the source. The two resistors work independently.

Why resistors are connected in series with the voltage source and in parallel with current source?
a voltage source has very less(negligible)resistance.thus is considered as a short.if connected in parallel to a resistor will draw all the current acting as a short.thus is always connected in series of a resistor.where as a current source has tremendous resistance(infinity).thus if connected in series will be conidered as an open branch and no current will flow through it other than the source current.
Why you need to connect resistor in series for the practical voltage source?
A resistor is connected in series with a practical voltage source in order to determine the current produced by the source.
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.
How do you install a resistor in an DC circuit?
It depends on the purpose for installing the resistor. If the intent is to decrease current flow, the resistor must be connected in series with the load. If the purpose is to increase current flow, the resistor must be connected in parallel with the load. To connect a resistor in series, connect the resistor to one side of the power source, in line with the load. This will decrease circuit current flow. To connect a resistor in parallel, connect the resistor between the positive and negative sides of the power source, which will effectively connect the resistor across the load . This will increase current flow through the circuit. However, before connecting a component in parallel, make sure the increase in current flow will not exceed the current rating of the circuit or fuses/breakers will blow.
What circumstances is it possible for the rms current drawn from a certain source to have the same magnitude when an inductance is connected in series with a given impedance?
The same as what? when an inductor is connected in series with a resistor and a current passed through them, the voltages across the resistor and inductor are equal when the reactance is equal to the resistance: 2.pi.f.L = R
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.
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).
A 5 ohm resistor a 10 ohm resistor and a 15 ohm resistor are connected in series to a 120 volt power source. What is the amount of current flowing between the 5 ohm resistor and the 10 ohm resistor?
The current would be about 20 volts.
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.
