If the 3-ohm resistor is the ONLY thing in the circuit, then the current flowing through it is (12 volts)/(3 ohms) = 4 amperes. If there are other things in the circuit besides the resistor, then the current depends on all of them.
Effects of an Electric current -1) Heating effect -e.g. - Heater / Geyser etc.2) Magnetic effect -e.g. - Electric Bell etc.3) Chemical effect -e.g. - Battery charging etc.4) Lighting effect -e.g. - Electric bulb etc.
Use the equation, V= IR from Ohm's Law V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance in ohms So then, solve the equation for I (the current) and you get I=V/R. Then just plug in the values... I= 12/3, which equals 4 A. (For current, it is measured in amperes, or just "A" as the unit.)
The speed of an electric signal or current depends on the material, not on the thickness. In metal, it is usually about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum. On the other hand, a thin wire has a higher electrical resistance than a thick wire (other things being equal). But this does not affect the speed.
Death, injury, and electricutionIf we ignore the above, humourous(!), attempt at an answer, then the three effects of an electric current are (1) heating effect, (2) chemical effect, and (3) magnetic effect.Examples of the heating effect include electric heaters, kettles, stoves, etc. An examples of the chemical effect is electroplating. Examples of the magnetic effect includes relays, motors, etc.The SI unit of current, the ampere, is defined in terms of the force between two parallel conductors due to their magnetic fields (i.e. the magnetic effect).

One need to know the voltage, the power factor and starting torque, to derive the starting current. The information provided in the question is not sufficient.
If the 3-ohm resistor is the ONLY thing in the circuit, then the current flowing through it is (12 volts)/(3 ohms) = 4 amperes. If there are other things in the circuit besides the resistor, then the current depends on all of them.

3 things Volts, ohms, and amps
The formula you are looking for is W = I x E.
Most timer swiches are designed to operate with loads of up to 13 amps or 3 kW. Electric showers use around 8 kW (30-35 amps), so you would need a high-current timer.

A flow of electrons is needed to have a current. And there (usually) must be a complete circuit. And you need a voltage to make the current move around your circuit. All tied up in Ohms Law - which I'll leave to you.
