Given data

*The given resistor is R = 12 ohms

*The given voltage is V = 120 V

The formula for the current flows in the circuit is given as


I=(V)/(R)

Substitute the values in the above expression as


\begin{gathered} I=(120)/(12) \\ =10\text{ A} \end{gathered}

Thus, the amount of current flows in the circuit is I = 10 A
