circuit 1 ammeter reads current I1 and voltmeter reads V2 Circuit 2Ammeter reads current I1 and voltmeter reads current V2 Share with your friends Share 1 Rohit Babu answered this Dear Student,V1 is the voltage across the series combination of R1 and R2For circuit 2, R1 is shorted out.Hence V2 is the voltage across parallel combinationof R2 and R3.Hence both V1 and V2 measures the supply voltage from battery. (Not the individual voltage across the resistors.)Therefore,V1=V2I1 measures the current through a series combination of resistors(high resistance path) and I2 measures the current through a parallel combination(low resistance path).We know,VI=RHence,I α 1RTherefore,I1<I2Ans : Option B)I1<I2 ,V1=V2Regards. -1 View Full Answer
