The frequency of the following Hartley oscillator

Transistor Hartley oscillator: tank circuit of a 0.05 microfarad capacitor across two series inductors of 12 microhenry and 8 microhenry, RF choke in the collector supply from +VCC

is nearly equal to :

  • A.139 kHz
  • B.159 kHz
  • C.179 kHz
  • D.279 kHz

Answer: B

The frequency is nearly 159 kHz.

In a Hartley oscillator the tank circuit is a capacitor across two inductors in series, so (neglecting mutual inductance) \(L = L_{1} + L_{2}\):

\[ \begin{aligned} L &= 12 + 8 = 20\ \mu\text{H} \\ LC &= 20 \times 10^{-6} \times 0.05 \times 10^{-6} = 10^{-12} \\ f &= \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 10^{-6}} \\ &\approx 159\ \text{kHz} \end{aligned} \]

Using only the 12 \(\mu\)H coil gives about 205 kHz, and only the 8 \(\mu\)H coil about 252 kHz; neither is an option. 139, 179 and 279 kHz do not follow from these component values.
