All these resistors are in series so we can take the sum of them by:

Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3......

So...

Rtotal = 2 + 3 + 4 + 6

Rtotal = 15

So now the total resistance in the circuit is 15 ohms and the potential difference applied to the circuit is 45 volts

Now we can use:

V = IR

Isolate for I

V/R = I

45/15 = I

I = 3 amps (A)
