LC Oscillations

A transistor-oscillator using a resonant circuit with an inductor L (of negligible resistance) and a capacitor C in series produce oscillations of frequency ff. If L is doubled and C is changed to 4C, the frequency will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. f=12πLCf = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}
  2. L→2LL\to 2L, C→4CC\to 4C: LC→8LCLC \to 8LC
  3. f′=f8=f22f' = \frac{f}{\sqrt{8}} = \frac{f}{2\sqrt{2}}, so the answer is (d).
