If we apply voltage $V$ across a resistor whose resistance is $R$ then the current $I$ flowing across it can be calculated by

$I=V/R$

Here we are applying voltage of $15V$ across a $12Omega$ resistor, therefore, the current flowing is

$I=15/12=1.25$ $implies I=1.25A$

Hence, the electric current produced is $1.25A$ .
