Solution

The correct option is B $I$ increases
When the resistor R is connected in parallel with voltmeter, the effective resistance in the circuit decreases because $(\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}})$
Therefore current, $I = \frac{V}{R}$ increases.

Q. 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 I₁, I₂ and V₁, V₂ respectively he is likely to observe that :
(1) I₁ = I₂ but V₁ ≠ V₂
(2) I₁ < I₂ but V₁ = V₂
(3) I₁ > I₂ but V₁ = V₂
(4) I₁ = I₂ and V₁ = V₂
