    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
