Resonance, Bandwidth & Q Factor

The LC series resonant circuit produces a resonant frequency 'ff'. If L is tripled and 'C' is increased by 3C, the resonant frequency will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. f∝1LCf \propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}
  2. L′=3LL' = 3L, C′=C+3C=4C⇒L′C′=12LCC' = C + 3C = 4C \Rightarrow L'C' = 12LC
  3. f′=f12=f23f' = \dfrac{f}{\sqrt{12}} = \dfrac{f}{2\sqrt{3}}. So the answer is (b).
