Answer :
Given
The voltage of the battery, V=20.0 V
The resistance of the two resistors are 40 ohm each.
The two resistance are connected in parallel
To find
The current through the circuit.
Explanation
The resistors are connected in parallel
Thus the equivalent resistance is
[tex]R=\frac{40\times40}{40+40}=20\text{ ohm}[/tex]By Ohm's law,
[tex]V=RI[/tex]where I is the current through the battery
Putting the values
[tex]\begin{gathered} 20=20I \\ \Rightarrow I=1A \end{gathered}[/tex]Conclusion
The current through the battery is 1.00 A
