Parallel circuit with two branches containing resistors R and 2R.
A circuit consists of an ideal battery of voltage \(V_0\) connected in parallel with two branches, Branch 1 and Branch 2. Branch 1 contains a resistor of resistance \(R\) connected in series with an ideal ammeter \(A_1\). Branch 2 contains a resistor of resistance \(2R\) connected in series with an ideal ammeter \(A_2\). Which of the following correctly compares the current reading \(I_1\) on ammeter \(A_1\) to the current reading \(I_2\) on ammeter \(A_2\) and provides the correct physical justification?
