Explanation:

Step1: Recall Ohm's law formula

Ohm's law is $V = IR$, where $V$ is voltage, $I$ is current and $R$ is resistance. We need to find $I$ when $V = 15$ V and $R=8$ ohms.

Step2: Rearrange the formula to solve for current

From $V = IR$, we can get $I=\frac{V}{R}$.

Step3: Substitute values

Substitute $V = 15$ and $R = 8$ into the formula: $I=\frac{15}{8}=1.875$ A.

Answer:

$1.875$ A
