(i) ammeter(ii) voltmeter(iii) resistor

Only (i) and (ii)

Only (ii) and (iii)

Only (i) and (iii)

(i)、 (ii) and (iii)

9. Which of the following about parallel circuit is NOT correct?

There are 2 or more branches of electric current in a parallel circuit.

Total current in the circuit equals to the sum of current in all branches.

In a parallel circuit, if a bulb from one branch burns out, bulbs from other branches will not light up.

In a parallel circuit, the electric current is larger in a branch with smaller resistance.
