A group of identical cells (all in parallel) are connected to an external resistance `R_(1)`. Current through `R_(1)` is `i_(1)`. Another group of identical cells (all in series) are connected to some other resistance `R_(2)`. Current through `R_(2)` is `i_(2)`. Now one cell is removed from both the groups. Then

Options

A. `i_(1)` will decrease
B. `i_(2)` may decrease or increase depending on the value E and r
C. both (a) and (b) are correct
D. both (a) and (b) wrong

Answer

A
