COMEDK · Physics · 23. Alternating Current

For the same resonant frequency, if \(L\) is changed from \(L\) to \(\dfrac{L}{3}\), then capacitance should change from \(C\) to

  1. A \(\dfrac{C}{3}\)
  2. B \(3 C\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{2}{3} C\)
  4. D \(2 C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The resonant frequency \(f\) of an \(LC\) circuit is given by the formula \(f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}\). 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…
