Answer: 54.54 amps

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the Ohm's law formula:

I = E/R

Where:

I = current in amps

E = Voltage in volts

R = resistance in ohms

Replacing with the values given:

I = 12 / 0.22

Solving for I

I = 54.54 amps

In conclusion, the answer is 54.54 amps.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
