How much current would come from a 1.5 v battery with no resistance?

Question

inkyvoyd · Answer

V=IR

amtran_bus · Answer

But I need current, so I=V/R

1.5/0...
Would it really be 0 @inkyvoyd

inkyvoyd · Answer

You might want to show a diagram.

imm not sure

inkyvoyd · Answer

Given an ideal voltage source and a resistance of zero, the current drawn would in fact approach infinity. However, batteries are far from ideal. I'm not exactly sure what the point of this question was (from an educator's perspective), but if there is any context it is presented in, please include it

I'm sorry, this is all I have.

Except that it is going through a standard wire, I know it has resistance.

inkyvoyd · Answer

If it is going through a standard wire, and you know the material and diameter, you could find it.

But a more general answer would be "If the battery is ideal, than the amount of current coming from it would be inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit"
