Question

The voltage provided by the battery of a circuit was 12 V, if the total

resistance in the circuit was 6 ohms, calculate the total current present.
options:
72 A
2A
0.5 A
7.2 A​

Answer 1

2 Amps

which agrees with the second option in the list of answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Ohm's law:

V = R * I

which with the information given to us becomes:

12 = 6 * I

then solving for I we get:

I = 12 V / 6 Ω = 2 Amps
