Resonant frequency of a LCR series circuit is 16 kHz. If the capacitance is increased to 16 times, then the new resonant frequency will become

  1. A 16 kHz
  2. B 32 kHz
  3. C 8 kHz
  4. D 4 kHz
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4 kHz

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( f \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{C}} \) \( f_2 = f_1 \sqrt{\frac{C_1}{C_2}} \) \( f_2 = 16 \text{ kHz} \sqrt{\frac{C_1}{16C_1}} \) \( f_2 = 16 \text{ kHz} \times \frac{1}{4} \) \( f_2 = 4 \text{ kHz} \)
