A parallel circuit contains a battery with a voltage of 9 volts. he total resistance in the circuit is 18 ohms. Which claim about the current in the circuit can be supported mathematically from the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance?

claim 1: the current flowing through the circuit is 0.5 amps because current is related to voltage and resistance by the formula I = V/R

claim 2: the current flowing through the circuit is 2 amps because current is related to voltage and resistance by the formula I = R/V

claim 3: the current flowing through the circuit is 27 amps because current is related to voltage and resistance by the formula I = R + V

claim 4: the current flowing through the circuit is 162 amps because current is related to voltage and resistance by the formula I = VR
