Formula of current at normal speed of car is as follows:
I = V s V b R
where,
V s = source emf V b = Back emf R = Resitance
Current drawn in circuit when it starting:
I s = V s R
Values given in the question are as follow:
V s = 6   V V b = 4.50 V I = 3.00   A
Resistance of circuit:
Substitute known values in equation-1);
3 A = 6 V 4.5 V R R = 0.5
Current draw in circuit of toy car in starting;
Substitute known values in equation-2);
I S = 6 V 0.5 I S = 12   A
