Three 4Ω resistors connected in parallel have a potential difference of 16 V applied across them. What is the total current in the circuit?

U didn't state how u got 12 as the answer

1/R= 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4
1/R = 3/4
Cross multiply
3R = 4
R = 4/3

V=IR
REMEMBER V =16
16= I × 4/3
3×16 = 4 × I
I = (3×16)/4
I = 48/4
I = 12
