A student connects two identical resistors in series to a 12 V battery. The current in the circuit is 0.5 A. He then reconnects the same two resistors in parallel across the same 12 V battery. What will happen to the current supplied by the battery in the parallel circuit?
- The current in the parallel circuit is larger than 0.5 A.
- The current in the parallel circuit is equal to 0.5 A.
- The current in the parallel circuit is smaller than 0.5 A.
- No current flows in the parallel circuit.
