$A$ uniform metallic wire of length $L$ is mounted in two configurations. In configuration $1$ (triangle),it is an equilateral triangle and a voltage $V$ is applied to corners $A$ and $B$. In configuration $2$ (circle),it is bent in the form of a circle and the potential $V$ is applied at diametrically opposite points $P$ and $Q$. The ratio of the power dissipated in configuration $1$ to configuration $2$ is

  • A
    $2 / 3$
  • B
    $9 / 8$
  • C
    $5 / 4$
  • D
    $7 / 8$
