Draw a circuit diagram of an electric circuit containing a cell, a key, an ammeter, a resistor of $2\,\Omega $ in series with a combination of two resistors ($4\,\Omega $ each) in parallel and a voltmeter across the parallel combination. Will the potential difference across the $2\,\Omega $ resistor be the same as that across the parallel combination of $4\,\Omega $ resistors? Give reason.
