A battery always drives the same current through a circuit connected to it, no matter what the characteristics of that circuit might be.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The current driven by a battery through a circuit depends on the characteristics of the circuit, including the total resistance. According to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), the current (I) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) of the battery and inversely proportional to the total resistance (R) of the circuit.
