Ohm's Law: Current equals voltage divided by resistance
If the two 3 ohm resistors are in series, then 12 volts divided by 6 ohms is 2 amperes.
If the two 3 ohm resistors are in parallel, then 12 volts divided by 1.5 ohms is 8 amperes.
WARNING: In the first case, this is 24 watts or 12 watts per resistor. In the second case, this is 96 watts or 48 watts per resistor. Exercise great care if you intend to duplicate this in the lab, i.e. do not think for even a split second that a 1/4 watt resistor is going to be able to handle this power without burning up and causing a fire.

How many amperes of current will flow in a circuit if the voltage difference is 9 V and the resistance in the circuit is 3 Ω?
Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance 9 volts divided by 3 ohms = 3 amperes.
How do you find resistance when you have current and resistance total?
If you are looking for the resistance of each resistor in either a series circuit or a parallel circuit you must measure the current I and the voltage V for each resistor. Then calculate its resistance using Ohms Law R = V / I where I = current (Amps), V = voltage (Volts) and R= resistance (Ohms).
What is the resistance of a circuit with 120V and 10A?
Assuming DC and resistive loads, resistance equals voltage across the load, divided by the current through it. In this case 120/10 or 12 ohms.
The number of ohms in a circuit is a measure of the?
resistance to the flow of electrical current in the circuit. It is a measure of how much opposition the circuit presents to the flow of electricity. The higher the number of ohms, the greater the resistance in the circuit.

What are watts amps and ohms?
ohms is a measure of resistance(R) in a circuit. Watts is a measure of the power(P), in this case lets assume it is the power used by the resistive element (lamp, heater etc). Power(watts)=Current(Amps)x Current(amps) x Resistance(ohms) or Resistance (ohms)=Power(W)/(current x current)
