Question

If the resistance of an electric circuit is 12 ohms and the voltage in the circuit is 60 V, the current flowing through the circuit is...

A. 60 A.
B. 5 A.
C. 0.2 A.
D. 720 A.

Answer 1

Current = (voltage)/(resistance) = (60 v) / (12 ohms) = 5 amperes (B)

Answer 2

The formula for calculating the current flowing in a circuit is:
I = V /R
Where:
I = current = ?
V = voltage = 60 V
R = resistance = 12 Ohms
I = V /R = 60/ 12 = 5
Therefore, the current flowing through the circuit is 5 A.
