Answer

5 amps

Explanation

given that,

power supply = 60W

voltage = 12V

Then by using Ohm’s law and substituting for the values of V and I the formula for electrical power can be found and we can calculate current passing through the yellow wire through ohm's power law.

Formula:

P = I × V

I = P / V

I = 60 / 12

I = 5 amps

So the current passing through the yellow wire is 5 amps
