16. Look at the circuit diagram.

PHYSICS
(a) Tick () the box next to the correct relationship for the current readings of ammeters
A1, A2 and A3.

A1 = A2 = A3

A1 + A2 = A3

A1 = A2 + A3

A1 = A2 –A3

(b) Write down two changes that could be made to the circuit which would increase thecurrent
reading on ammeter A3.
