In a circuit with a 12V battery, 20Ω resistor and 10Ω resistor, all in series, calculate the current that would flow?

This question can be split into two parts, the first is calculating overall resistance: in series the R total = R 1 + R 2 so here R total = 10Ω + 20Ω = 30Ω The second is to choose the relevant equation, pote...
