V = 24;            // Potential difference,V
R = 15;             // Resistance, ohms
// From Ohm's law, V = I*R, then solving for I
I = V/R;             // Electric current, A
printf("\nThe current flowing through the resistor = %3.1f A", I)

// Result
// The current flowing through the resistor  = 1.6 A
