Answer:

4 A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistance (R) = 3 Ω

Current (I) =?

From ohm's law,

Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)

V = IR

With the above formula, we can obtain the current flowing in the circuit as illustrated below:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistance (R) = 3 Ω

Current (I) =?

V = IR

12 = I × 3

Divide both side by 3

I = 12/3

I = 4 A

Therefore, the current flowing in the circuit is 4 A.
