Given:

  • A DC circuit with the following specifications:

    • It has a battery of voltage V=12 VV=12\text{ V}.
    • It has a resistor of electric resistance R=5ΩR=5\,\Omega

Required:

  • To determine the electric current IrI_r flowing through the resistor.

Context:

  • Since there are no specifications, we will assume that the battery and the resistor are connected in series.

  • This problem can be solved using Ohm's law, which adapted to this case, would be given by:

V=IrR(1)V=I_r\cdot R\tag 1
