Multiple Choice

Initially, a circuit is composed of a DC source and two resistors, R1 and R2, connected in series across the said DC source. The circuit current in this connection is Iold. Now, both terminals of R1 are to be connected to each other. The current in this new circuit is Inew. Which of the following is true?

   

Iold < Inew

   

(The exact values of R1 and of R2 should be given to be able to conclude about the relationship between Iold and Inew.)

   

Iold = Inew

   

Iold > Inew
