Answer: 3A
Explanation:
First, we must calculate voltage by summing the reciprocal of the resistances in the circuit
1/40 +1/40 = 2/40 = 1/20 = 1/R, so R = 20Ω
Using Ohm's Law, I = V/R, so the current I is I = 120/20 = 6A
Using Kerchoff's Circuit Law, we know that current will split evenly at a junction, so each resistor will get one half, or 3A.

is there more to the problem?
Answer:
Explanation:
1) TRUE; potential difference can be calculated using path integral. Since the electric field is a conservative, the potential difference can be calculated using any path.
2) TRUE; since potential due to a charge is inversely dependent on distance, at infinity the potential will be almost zero.
3) TRUE, W = q.VBA.
4) FALSE; eV is a unit for work (or) energy.
5) TRUE; since the electric force is conservative force. There will be no loss in energy, the decreased potential energy will be coverted to kinetic energy.
6) FALSE; in the direction of electric field the potential decreases.
7) FALSE; equipotential surface is perpendicular to the electric field lines.
8) FALSE; electrostatic potential is scalar quantity. It depends only on the charge and distance from it.
9) FALSE; Inside a conductor the electric field is zero but the electric potential is constant at the value that is at the surface of the conductor.
10) TRUE; as long as the field is being measured outiside the body the bodies act as point charges. So electric fields due to all types of bodies charged identically will be equal.
There can be many species in an ecosystem some consume more energy than others
