Please Help! The circuit shown above contains two resistors, an ideal battery, and a switch.

The circuit shown above contains two resistors. an ideal battery, and a switch. The resistance of resistor RI is less than the resistance of resistor R2 . (a) Indicate whether the current through resistor R2 when the switch is is greater than, less than. or equal to the current thmugh resistor R, when the switch is closed. Greater than Less than _ Equal to Briefly explain how you arrived at your answer. (b) Closing the switch creates a short circuit. Indicate whether the absolute value of the potential difference between points A and B when the switch is open is greater than. less than. or equal to thc absolute value of the potential difference when the switch is closed. Greater than Equal to Less than Explain your reasoning in a clear, coherent paragraph-length explanation that may also contain equations and/or drawings. Address thc conditions before and after the switch is closed.
