Given the following information, solve for I.
  • I is unknown,
  • Electromotive force (E) is 12V.
  • The resistance (R) is 6 ohms.

To solve for the current (I) in the circuit, cover the I as shown below; E and R remain visible. 

The answer would be I = E/R, or I = 12V/6 ohms, resulting in I = 2A.
