Given:

The resistance of the circuit, R=16 Ω

The voltage across the circuit, V=50 V

To find:

The current through the circuit.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Ohm's law, the voltage across a circuit is directly proportional to the current through the circuit.

That is,


V=IR

On substituting the known values,


\begin{gathered} 50=I*16 \\ \implies I=(50)/(16) \\ =3.13\text{ A} \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The current in the circuit is 3.13 A
