New Facebook-access-token generated if it expires?

I am using the below API to list out my Facebook friends.

https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=???

I wish to know what would happen when the access token expires.

1) If I have logged out of Facebook, and try to re-login my app via Facebook-connect, new access token is generated in my app.

2) But if I am already a logged-in Facebook user, and I am using iOS5.0 or above, and try to login my app via Facebook-connect, will it show expiration error? Or is new access token generated?

Default access tokens expire after 2 hours, if you login again a new access token is generated.
