For the same resonant frequency, if L is changed from L to L 3 , then capacitance should change from C to
Options
- AC 3
- B3 C
- C2 3 C
- D2 C
Correct answer
B. 3 C
Step-by-step solution
The resonant frequency f of an LC circuit is given by the formula f = 1 2 LC . Since the resonant frequency f remains the same, the product LC must remain constant. Let the initial values be L and C , and the new values be L' and C' . Given L' = L 3 , we have LC = L'C' . Substituting the value of L' into the equation: LC = ( L 3 ) C' . Solving for C' , we get C' = 3C . Answer: 3 C
