This is a 24Ohm resistor with +-10% tolerance and can fail 0.1% of every 1000 hours of operation.

From a 12V battery, if we use V=IR we get 0.5Amps of current coming out of the resistor.

Voltage remains constant unless there is a voltage drop through the resistor.

If I'm wrong please correct me, I studied electronics for a few days in order to figure out a circuit for a class not related to electronics at all.
