The current through the resistor is 0.3 A.
Explicación
## Step 1The problem involves the application of Ohm's law, which states that the current flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor. The formula for Ohm's law is:###
where
is the current,
is the voltage, and
is the resistance.## Step 2In this problem, the voltage
is given as 4 volts and the resistance
is given as 12 ohms.## Step 3Substitute the given values into the formula:###
## Step 4Calculate the current
