\(L C\)-oscillations are similar and analogous to the mechanical oscillations of a block attached to a spring. The electrical equivalent of the force constant of the spring is

  1. A reciprocal of capacitive reactance
  2. B capacitive reactance
  3. C reciprocal of capacitance
  4. D capacitance
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) reciprocal of capacitance

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For LC-oscillations,
\(L \frac{d i}{d t}+\frac{q}{C}=0\)
Differentiating further it w.r.t \(t\), we get
\(L \frac{d^{2} i}{d t^{2}}+\frac{I}{C}=0...(i)\)
Similarly, for spring-block system,
\(m \frac{d^{2} x}{d t^{2}}+k x=0...(ii)\)
Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
\(m \propto L \text { and } k \propto \frac{1}{C}\)
