To reduce the resonant frequency in an `LCR` series circuit with a generator

A

the galvanometer frequency should be reduced

B

another capacitor should be added in parallel to the first

C

the iron core of the inductor should be removed

D

dielectric in the capacitor should be removed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

We know that resonant frequency in an L-C-R circut is given by
`v_(0) = 1/(2pisqrt(LC))`
Now to reduce `v_(0)` either we can increase L or we can increase C. To increase capacitance, we must connect another capacitor parallel to the first.
