A radio can tune over the frequency range of a portion of MW broadcast band (800 kHz to 1200 kHz). If its LC circuit has an effective inductance of `200 mu H`, what must be the range of its varialbe capacitor ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`v=(1)/(2pi) sqrt((1)/(LC)), i.e., C=(1)/(4pi^(2)v^(2)L)`
For `L=200muH, v=1200kHz, C=87.9pF`.
For `L=200muH, v=800kHz, C=197.8pF`.
The variable capacitor should have a range of about 88 pF to 198 pF.

A radio can tune over the frequency range of a portion of MW broadcast band: (800 kHz to 1200 kHz). If its LC circuit has an effective inductance of 200muH , what must be the range of its variable capacitor? (Hint: For tuning, the natural frequency i.e., the frequency of free oscillations of the LC circuit should be equal to the frequency of the radio wave.]

Calculate the range of the variable capacitor that is to be used in a tuned-collector oscillator which has a fixed inductance of 150 p H.The frequency band is from 500 KHz to 1500KHz.
