Let's calculate the equivalent resistances on both circuits.
On Diagram A we have a <em>series connection</em> of the resistors. The equivalent resistance will be the sum of all resistances:
On diagram B we have a <em>parallel connection</em> of the resistors. The reciprocal of the equivalent resistance will be the sum of the reciprocals of all the resistances:
Therefore, the larger resistance occurs on diagram A.
For the current, recall
Where stands for current is the resistance and is the voltage. Rearranging the equation we have
We can see that the larger the resistance, the smaller the current gets. So the larger current must happen in the diagram with smaller resistance. Therefore, the larger current occurs on diagram B.
