Answer: As per Ohm's law current= voltage divided by resistance.

Explanation:

So answer is 6/2= 3 amperes.

For this case, we have by definition, that Ohm's Law states that:


I = \frac {V} {R}

Where:

I: It's the current

V: It's the voltage

R: It's the resistance

We have to:


V = 6V

R = 2Ω

Substituting:


I = \frac {6} {2}\\I = 3

Also, we have that the units of the current, by dividing volts between ohms, will be amps.

Thus, the current is
I = 3 \ A

Answer:


I = 3 \ A
