Explanation:
The formula needed to solve this question is defined by Ohms Law
V=IR
Which we can rearrange to find the current
I = V R
Where
I=Current (amperes)
R=Resistance (ohms)
V=Potential Difference (volts)
Substitute in the values you already have into the formula
I = 15 6
I = 2.5 a m p e r e s

Explanation:
We use Ohm's law here, which states that
V=IR
where V is the voltage, I is the current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms.
We need to solve for current, so we can rearrange the equation into
I = V R
Plugging in the given values, we get
I = 15 V 6 Ω
=2.5A
So, the electric current has a strength of 2.5 amperes.
