Answer

Given,

Resistance (R) = 5 Ohm

Potential difference (V) = 3 V

Current (I) = ?

From Ohm's law

V = IR

Substituting the values in the formula above, we get,

3=I×5⇒I=35⇒I=0.6A3 = I \times 5 \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow I = \dfrac{3}{5} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow I = 0.6 A

Hence, the current flowing through the wire = 6 A
