  1. A decrease to one-half the original value
  2. B decrease to one-fourth the original value
  3. C increase to twice the original value
  4. D decrease to twice the original value
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) decrease to one-half the original value

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The resonant frequency
\(
v_{0}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}} \Rightarrow v_{0} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}
\)
If conductance and capacitance both are doubled, then
\(
v_{0}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{L C}\right)
\)
So, the resonant frequency will decrease to one-half of the original value.
