In an LC oscillator, if values of inductance and capacitance become twice and eight times, respectively, then the resonant frequency of oscillator becomes times its initial resonant frequency . The value of is:
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show answer and solution
Correct option: D
Solution
The resonant frequency is ω = 1/√(LC). When L → 2L and C → 8C, the new frequency is ω' = 1/√(2L · 8C) = 1/√(16LC) = (1/4) · 1/√(LC) = ω₀/4. So x = 1/4.
