As an application, consider a circuit with a 9V battery with a 10,000 $\Omega$
|
|
|
|
|
resistor attached across its terminals.

|
|
|
|
|
|
The current flowing through the resistor can be calculated as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$$
|
|
|
|
|
\frac{9V} {10,000\Omega} = 0.0009 \textsf{A} (0.9 \textsf{mA})
|
|
|
|
|
$$
