Practical circuits — practice question

A battery whose internal resistance is negligible can be joined between any two of the points $P$, $Q$, $R$ and $S$ in the resistor network shown. Which pairings will produce the greatest current and the least current in the battery?

  • Alargest current: $PQ$, smallest current: $PR$
  • Blargest current: $PQ$, smallest current: $QS$
  • Clargest current: $RS$, smallest current: $PR$
  • Dlargest current: $RS$, smallest current: $QS$
