O The voltage across R₁ will be the same regardless whether R₂ is connected or removed. However, the current through R₁ will decrease. O The voltage across R₁ will be increased after removing R₂ is connected. The current through R₁ will increase as well. O The voltage across R₁ will be the same regardless whether R₂ is connected or removed. However, the current through R₁ will increase. O The voltage across R₁ will be decreased after removing R₂ is connected. The current through R₁ will increase though.
