Detailed Solution

To determine the filament of the bulb's resistance, use Ohm's law. This law explains the relationship between a current carrying conductor's resistance, voltage, and current.
Formula used:
The term used to describe Ohm's law is

I=VR

Here, I stands for current flowing through the conductor, V for the potential difference between the conductor's two ends, and R for conductor resistance.

Ohm's law states that any difference in I between any two conductor points is precisely proportional to any difference in V that may exist between those locations and any other potential conductor points.
I∝V
I=VR…… (1)
The proportionality constant in this case is the conductor's resistance, R.
A battery with a potential difference (voltage) of 12 volts and a current of 2 A is connected to the automobile light. Determine the filament of the light bulb's resistance.
Rearrange equation (1) to reflect the bulb's filament resistance R according to Ohm's law.
R=VI
In the equation above, swap 2A for I and 12V for V.
R=12 V2 A
R=6Ω
Consequently, the bulb's filament's resistance is 6Ω.
Hence, the correct option is B.
