Measuring current in a parallel circuit

1 A parallel circuit contains a battery and several branches that have different
components on. Which of the following statement is correct? Tick 1 correct answer
The current in all the branches will always be equal.
The current in the branches will be greater than the current in the battery.
The total current in the branches will be less than the current in the battery.
The total current in the branches will be equal to the current in the battery.

2 Starting with the first step, sort the following steps into the correct order to form a
method for adding an ammeter to a circuit to measure the current. Use numbers to
show the correct order

3 Place an ammeter in the gap and connect one side to the end of one lead.

4 Connect the other lead to the other side of the ammeter.

5 Check the ammeter is working and take the reading.

2 Disconnect the leads as near to this point as you can.

1 Choose the place in the circuit where you want to measure the current.

3 Which component is the ammeter in the circuit shown measuring the current through? Tick
2 correct answers

the battery
the resistor
the lamp
the lamp and the resistor

4 What is the rule for current at junctions in a parallel circuit? Tick 1 correct answer
Current going into the junction equals current going out of the junction.
Current going into the junction is less than current going out of the junction.
Current going into the junction is more than current going out of the junction.
