Given data
*The given resistors are
[tex]R_1=R_{2_{}}_{}_{}=4\text{ ohm}[/tex]*The given battery voltage is V = 12 V
The equivalent resistance in parallel combination is calculated as
[tex]\begin{gathered} R_{eq}=\frac{R_1\times R_2}{R_1+R_2} \\ =\frac{4\times4}{4+4} \\ =\frac{16}{8} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}[/tex]The total current flows through the battery is calculated as
[tex]\begin{gathered} I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}} \\ =\frac{12}{2} \\ =6\text{ A} \end{gathered}[/tex]
