If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.

V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.

The current that will be flowing in the wire being a super conductor will be infinity.

If resistance is negligible or equal to zero, that means the wire that connect point a and b is made with a super conductor.

According to Ohm's Law, Voltage supplied is directly proportional to the current. That is,

V α I

But in a super conductor, current has no restriction. That is, current can be flowing in the wire forever with an assumption of considering the inductance of the conductor.

If the wire is connected to a 12 volt battery, the current that will be flowing in the wire being a super conductor will be infinity.
