What is the current through each resistor?

Suppose a parallel circuit is created using a 6 V battery and two light bulbs that each have a resistance of 3 Omega. The circuit is built with ideal wires.

I= 2 A at each resistor

Explanation:

In parallel circuit, voltage stays constant at each resistor and throughout the circuit, so the current at each resistor would be:

I= V/R

I= (6V)/(3Omega)

I= 2 A at each resistor
