Two resistors, R 1 and R 2 , with R 2 > R 1 , are connected to a battery in seve

Question

Two resistors, R1 andR2, with R2 >R1, are connected to a battery in severalways.
Rank these four circuits in order of increasing powerconsumed. (1 is the lowest, 4 is the highest)
1,2,3 or 4 = Only R2 connected to thebattery.
1,2,3 or 4 = Both resistors connected in series to thebattery.
1,2,3 or 4 = Both resistors connected in parallel to thebattery.
1,2,3 or 4 = Only R1 connected to thebattery.
