A) 2 amps
B) 4 amps
C) 6 amps
D) 12 amps
12-Volt Circuit
An electrical pathway that operates at 12 volts, commonly found in automotive electrical systems.
6-Ohm Resistor
An electronic component that opposes the flow of electrical current, with a resistance value of six ohms.
Series
Refers to an electrical circuit configuration in which components are connected end-to-end, such that the current flows through each component in sequence.
- Acquire knowledge of the core principles behind current and resistance, including their interconnection.
- Recognize the units of measurement associated with electromotive force, electrical resistance, and electrical current.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Using Ohm's Law, which is I = V/R (where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance), the current in the circuit is calculated as I = 12V / 6Ω = 2 amps.
