The circuit with the greatest electric current will be Circuit 4 because it has the lowest resistance and the highest voltage. The formula for calculating electric current is I = V/R, where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Since Circuit 4 has the lowest resistance and the highest voltage, it will have the greatest electric current.
