I got $0.6A$

We can use Ohm's Law relating voltage $V$ . Current $I$ and Restance $R$ :

$V=RI$

so that:

$I=V/R=24/40=0.6A$

$0.6$ amperes

Using Ohm's Law,

$V=IR$

$I$ is the current flowing in amperes

$R$ is the resistance in ohms

And so, we can rearrange the equation into,

$I=V/R$

Now, we can plug in the given values, and get,

$I=(24 \ "V")/(40 \ Omega)$

$=0.6 \ "A"$
