Current Electricity

Circuit 1 has a 10 V source driving current $i_1$ through $a 10 \Omega$ resistor, with an ideal ammeter $A_1$ in series and an ideal voltmeter $V_1$ connected across the resistor-and-ammeter combination. Circuit 2 has the same 10 V source, $10 \Omega$ resistor and current $i_2$ , with ideal ammeter $A_2$ in series, but this time ideal voltmeter $V_2$ is connected across the resistor alone (not including the ammeter). The readings of the voltmeters and ammeters will be:

A. $V_2 > V_1$ and $i_1 = i_2$
B. $V_1 = V_2$ and $i_1 > i_2$
C. $V_1 = V_2$ and $i_1 = i_2$ ✓
D. $V_2 > V_1$ and $i_1 > i_2$

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
