Explain with the help of a labelled circuit diagram how you will find the resistance of a combination of three resistors, or resistance R₁, R₂ and R₃, joined in parallel. Also mention how you will connect the ammeter and the voltmeter in the circuit when measuring the current in the circuit and the potential difference across one of the three resistors of the combination.

Answer the following question.
With the help of a suitable circuit diagram prove that the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance of a group of resistances joined in parallel is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. 

A teacher gave two test tubes to the students, one containing water and the other containing sodium hydroxide. She asked them to identify the test tube containing sodium hydroxide solution. Which one of the following can be used for identification?
