A tank of \( L = 10 \ \mathrm{\mu H} \) and \( C = 100 \ \mathrm{pF} \) resonates at about

  • A.5.03 MHz
  • B.1.59 MHz
  • C.15.9 MHz
  • D.503 kHz

Answer: A

Applying the resonant frequency relation:

\[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}} = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{10^{-15}}} \]

which gives about 5.03 MHz. Because the frequency goes as the reciprocal square root of the product, a hundredfold change in either component moves it only tenfold - which is why a wide tuning range needs a large capacitance ratio and why varactor tuning is so often supplemented by band switching.
