           Current  =  (voltage) / (resistance)

                       =  (12 V)  /  (2.5 ohms)

                       =    4.8 Amperes

Answer:

The electric current in the circuit is 4.8 A.

Explanation

What is electric current?

The number of charge passing through unit cross-sectional area of a conductor in one second, is called electric current. It is denoted by (i) and it is measured in Ampere.

Given data is:

  • Resistance (R)= 2.5 Ω

         Potential difference of battery (V)= 12 V

  • By using formula,   \(V =i.R\)

                                      ⇒ \(i =\frac{V}{R}\)

        On putting values,

                                      \(i = \frac{12}{2.5}\)  

                                      \(i = \frac{120}{25} = 4.8A\)

Hence the current in the circuit is 4.8 A
