In an LC oscillator, if values of inductance and capacitance become twice and eight times, respectively, then the resonant frequency of oscillator becomes xx times its initial resonant frequency ω0{\omega}_{0}. The value of xx is:

Options

  1. A14\dfrac{1}{4}
  2. B1616
  3. C116\dfrac{1}{16}
  4. D44

Correct answer

A. 14\dfrac{1}{4}

Step-by-step solution

Resonance frequency of an LC oscillations circuit is stated as

ω0=1LC{\omega}_{0} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}, here, LandCLandC represents inductance and capacitance of circuit.

Now, when inductance and capacitance changes, i.e., L′=2L{L}^{'} = 2L and C′=8C{C}^{'} = 8C

Then, resonant frequency is ω=12L×8C=14LC\omega = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2L \times 8C}} = \dfrac{1}{4\sqrt{LC}}

⇒ω=ω04⇒ \omega = \dfrac{{\omega}_{0}}{4}

Thus, the value of x=14x = \dfrac{1}{4}.
