With the switch in the circuit of Figure 27.4a closed, there is no current in R2 because the current has an alternate zero-resistance path through the switch. There is current in R1, and this current is measured with the ammeter (a device for measuring current) at the bottom of the circuit. If the switch is opened (Fig. 27.4b), there is current in R2. What happens to the reading on the ammeter when the switch is opened? (a) The reading goes up. (b) The reading goes down. (c) The reading does not change.
