A student using the same two resistors, ammeter, voltmeter and battery, sets up two circuits A and B connecting the two resistors first in series and then in parallel.

If the ammeter and voltmeter readings in the two cases be `I_(1), I_(2)` and `V_(1), V_(2)` respectively, he is likely to observe that :

Options

A. `I_(1) = I_(2)` but `V_(1) ne V_(2)`
B. `I_(1) lt I_(2)` but `V_(1) = V_(2)`
C. `I_(1) gt I_(2)` but `V_(1) = V_(2)`
D. `I_(1) = I_(2)` and `V_(1) = V_(2)`

Answer

B
