Solution
A is a voltmeter to measure the potential difference,
B is an electric resistance to control the current in the circuit,
C is the ammeter to measure the magnitude of an electric current,
D is cell to provide electric current in circuit,
E is an electric key to on and off the circuit,
F is the rheostat to control the current in circuit.
