Electric circuits — practice question

The diagram depicts a battery joined to two resistors. Three ammeters $M_1$, $M_2$ and $M_3$ are included in the circuit. Ammeter $M_1$ shows $1.0\,\text{A}$. What readings do $M_2$ and $M_3$ show?

  • A$M_2 = 0.0\,\text{A},\; M_3 = 0.0\,\text{A}$
  • B$M_2 = 0.5\,\text{A},\; M_3 = 0.5\,\text{A}$
  • C$M_2 = 0.5\,\text{A},\; M_3 = 1.0\,\text{A}$
  • D$M_2 = 1.0\,\text{A},\; M_3 = 1.0\,\text{A}$
