The current through the circuit is 1 Ampere.

Explicación

## Step 1The problem involves the application of Ohm's law, which states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. The formula for Ohm's law is:### where is the current, is the voltage, and is the resistance.## Step 2In this problem, we have two resistors, each with a resistance of 5 Ohms. When these resistors are connected in series, the total resistance of the circuit is the sum of the individual resistances. Therefore, the total resistance is .## Step 3The total voltage across the circuit is given as 10 Volts.## Step 4Substituting the values of and into the formula for Ohm's law, we get:###
