A current element X is connected across an AC source of emf \(V = V_0\ sin\ 2πνt\). It is found that the voltage leads the current in phase by \(\frac{π}{ 2}\) radian. If element X was replaced by element Y, the voltage lags behind the current in phase by \(\frac{π}{ 2}\) radian.
(I) Identify elements X and Y by drawing phasor diagrams.
(II) Obtain the condition of resonance when both elements X and Y are connected in series to the source and obtain expression for resonant frequency. What is the impedance value in this case?- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

Concepts Used:
Combination of Capacitors
The total capacitance of this equivalent single capacitor depends both on the individual capacitors and how they are connected. There are two simple and common types of connections, called series and parallel, for which we can easily calculate the total capacitance.

Series capacitors
When one terminal of a capacitor is connected to the terminal of another capacitors , called series combination of capacitors.
Capacitors in Parallel
Capacitors can be connected in two types which are in series and in parallel. If capacitors are connected one after the other in the form of a chain then it is in series. In series, the capacitance is less.
When the capacitors are connected between two common points they are called to be connected in parallel.
When the plates are connected in parallel the size of the plates gets doubled, because of that the capacitance is doubled. So in a parallel combination of capacitors, we get more capacitance.
