The diagram shows a cell with internal resistance connected in parallel with a fixed resistor and a variable resistor. The resistance of the variable resistor is decreased. What happens to the potential difference V across the variable resistor and the current I in the variable resistor?

  1. AV decreases, I decreases
  2. BV decreases, I increases
  3. CV increases, I decreases
  4. DV increases, I increases
