In an LC oscillator, if values of inductance and capacitance become twice and eight times, respectively, then the resonant frequency of oscillator becomes x times its initial resonant frequency ω 0 . The value of x is:
Options
- A1 4
- B16
- C1 16
- D4
Correct answer
A. 1 4
Step-by-step solution
Resonance frequency of an LC oscillations circuit is stated as ω 0 = 1 L C , here, L   and   C represents inductance and capacitance of circuit. Now, when inductance and capacitance changes, i.e., L ' = 2 L and C ' = 8 C Then, resonant frequency is ω = 1 2 L × 8 C = 1 4 L C ⇒ ω = ω 0 4 Thus, the value of x = 1 4 .
