Determine the following in the electric circuit given below.

As per the given question, the following can be determined:

Circuit

Effective resistance of two 8 Ω resistors in combination

⇒ R = $\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 R_2} = \frac{8\ \times \ 8}{8\ + \ 8}$ = 4 Ω

Current that flows through 4Ω resistor

⇒ $I = \frac{V}{R}= \frac{8}{4 + \frac{8 \times 8}{8+8}}$

Potential difference across 4Ω resistance

⇒ V = IR = 1 × 4 = 4V

Disspated Power in 4 Ω resistor

⇒ P = I²R = 12 × 4 = 4W

Difference, if any, in ammeter readings

There is zero difference as because no current is seen to flow through the elements in a series circuit.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
A p-type or n-type semiconductor can be converted into a p-n junction by doping it with suitable impurity. The motion of majority charge carriers causes diffusion current across the junction while the barrier electric field causes motion of minority carriers for drift current. In case of unbiased diode, the diffusion and drift currents are equal. This equilibrium is disturbed by the biasing batteries. Diodes, therefore, allow currents in one direction. This property of diode is used in making rectifiers.

Capacitors are manufactured with certain standard capacitances and working voltages. However, these standard values may not be the ones that are actually needed in a particular application. Two or more capacitors can be grouped in series or in parallel to achieve desired capacitance and voltage. When connected in series, the total capacitance decreases while the voltage rating increases, whereas in parallel connections, the total capacitance increases and maintains the same voltage rating. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates and stored energy is proportional to the square of the voltage and capacitance $U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$, where symbols have their usual meanings.
Two capacitors, one of $3 \ \mu$F and the other of $6 \ \mu$F, are connected in series in the circuit as shown in the figure, for a long time. }
