Answer:

Current = 0.33 Amperes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data:

Resistance = 12 ohm

Voltage = 4 v

To find the current;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

Voltage = current * resistance

Substituting into the formula, we have;

4 = current * 12

Current = 4/12

Current = 0.33 Amperes
