A 12 V battery is connected parallel to a 5Ω resistor. Find the current supplied by this battery.

Correct option is C

​$$\text{To determine the current supplied by the battery, we use \textbf{Ohm's Law}:}$$

$$I = \frac{V}{R}$$

$$\textbf{Where:}$$

$$I = \text{Current (to be determined)}$$

$$V = 12V \quad \text{(voltage of the battery)}$$

$$R = 5\Omega \quad \text{(resistance of the resistor)}$$

$$I = \frac{12}{5}$$

$$I = 2.4 \, A$$​​​​​​​​​
