Certainly! To calculate the current in a circuit, we can use Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that:
\(\[ I = \frac{V}{R} \]\)
where:
- \(\( I \)\) is the current (in amperes, A),
- \(\( V \)\) is the voltage (in volts, V),
- \(\( R \)\) is the resistance (in ohms, Ω).
Given values:
- Voltage (\(\( V \)\)) = 60 volts (V),
- Resistance (\(\( R \)\)) = 5 ohms (Ω).
Let's plug these values into the formula:
\(\[ I = \frac{V}{R} \]\)
Substitute the given values:
\(\[ I = \frac{60\ \text{V}}{5\ \text{Ω}} \]\)
Now, perform the division:
\(\[ I = 12\ \text{A} \]\)
Therefore, the current in the circuit is 12 amperes (A).
