A circuit to verify Ohm's law uses ammeter and voltmeter in series or parallel connected correctly to the resistor. In the circuit:

1. The ammeter is always connected in series and the voltmeter is in parallel.
2. Both the ammeter and voltmeter must be connected in series.
3. Both the ammeter and voltmeter must be connected in parallel.
4. The ammeter is always connected in parallel and the voltmeter is in series.

An electric kettle has two heating coils. When one of the coils is connected to an a.c. source, the water in the kettle boils in \(10\) minutes. When the other coil is used the water boils in \(40\) minutes. If both the coils are connected in parallel, the time taken by the same quantity of water to boil will be:
1. \(8\) min
2. \(4\) min
3. \(25\) min
4. \(15\) min
