Homework Statement



I need to calculate the total current a battery supplies in a steady state. The voltage supplied by the battery is 2.0V, and the total effective resistance of the circuit is 22kΩ

Homework Equations



i=V/R

The Attempt at a Solution



i=2/22000=9.09*10-5amps

Is it actually possible to have such a small current in a circuit or have my calculations gone wrong somewhere?
