To find current for a circuit (If I understand Ohms Law correctly).

The chip will output up to 5 volts (assuming a 5VDC source), the resistor is 10K.  Using the formula I=V/R  (current = Volts / Resistance)

I = V / R

I = 5 / 10000

I = .0005 Amps (or 500uA, or .5mA) 

However, Chris Savage or Jon Williams better weigh in on this because that is what they do for a living (I just teach computer sci .... and try not to touch both wires at the same time).
