+12V and GND rails to prevent a lot of current flowing.  Lets work
25
25
this out (lets suppose that R is 1 ohm).

        V = IR, therefor I = V/R
 
27
        V = IR, therefore I = V/R
28
28
        P = VI = V(V/R) = (V^2)/R = ( 12 ^ 2 ) / 1 = 144W
29
 
        P = VI, therefor I = P/V = 144/12 = 12A
 
29
        P = VI, therefore I = P/V = 144/12 = 12A

That's a lot of current and a lot of power, flowing continuously, just
32
32
to provide 6V!
