Look at the diagram of circuit b. Yuri reads in a textbook that the current in each branch of a circuit adds up. This would mean that:
Current from the cell = current in upper branch + current in lower branch

Question Image

Yuri only has one of these components. Describe how Yuri could use this component to test the statement in the textbook.
