PHY 102 Last Minute Prep Objective Question

Question

What is the resonant frequency of a circuit of negligible resistance, inductance of 40mH and capacitance 0.25μF?
Options
A 5000 Hz
B 5000/π Hz
Correct Answer
C 5000 Hz
D π/5000 Hz
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

f = 1/(2π√(LC)) = 1/(2π√(0.04 × 0.25×10^-6)) = 10⁴/(2π) = 5000/π Hz.

Hint

Resonant frequency f = 1/(2π√LC).
