Example 2

The circuit below connects a cell*, an ammeter* and a resistor*.

The cell provides a voltage* of 2 volts.
The resistor has a value of 2 ohms*.
The ammeter reads a current* of 1 amp.

Circuit with battery, resistor and ammeter

If we replace the 2 ohm resistor with a 1 ohm resistor, what will the ammeter read?
