The current in the 50 Ω resistor will be 1.2 A. Option A is correct.

Ohm's law claims that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

Given data;

R₁ is the resistance of the resistor 1

R₂ is the resistance of the resistor 2

R₃ is the resistance of the resistor 3

V is the potential difference in the circuit

I₂ is the electric current flows in resistor 2

When all physical parameters and temperature are constant,The Equation of Ohm's Law;

V=IR

The three resistors are in parallel. The potential difference between the three resistors is the same.

V₁=V₂=V₃ = 60 V

The current in the 50 Ω resistor is;

V₂=I₂R₂

I₂=V₂/R₂

I₂= 60 V /50 Ω

I₂=1.2 A

The current in the 50 Ω resistor will be 1.2 A.

Hence, option A is correct.
