Answer: The current flowing through the circuit is 0.2 Amperes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohm's Law is defined as the law which determines the relationship between current and potential difference across a resistor.

Mathematically,

V=IR

where,

V = Potential difference across the resistor = 1.5 V

I = Current flowing through the circuit = ? A

R = Resistor in the circuit =
$7.5\Omega$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.5=I* 7.5\\\\I=0.2A$

Hence, the current flowing through the circuit is 0.2 Amperes.
