Answer:

6 V

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law:


V=RI

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know the current,
I=2 A, and the resistance,
R=3 \Omega, therefore we can find the voltage in the circuit:


V=RI=(3 \Omega )(2 A)=6 V
