Answer:

0.05A

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V(Voltage) = 15V

R (Resistor) = 300 ohms

I (current) =?

From Ohms law, V = IR. With this equation, we can obtain the current flowing in the circuit as follow:

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 15/300

I = 0.05A

The current flowing through the circuit is 0.05A
