Question
An inductor is connected across a capacitor whose capacitance can be varied by turning a knob. We wish to make the frequency of oscillation of this LC circuit vary linearly with the angle of rotation of the knob, going from 2 & 105 to 4 & 105 Hz as the knob turns through 180. If L ! 1.0 mH, plot the required capacitance C as a function of the angle of rotation of the knob.
Solution
The first step in solving 31 problem number 16 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An inductor is connected across a capacitor whose capacitance can be varied by turning a knob. We wish to make the frequency of oscillation of this LC circuit vary linearly with the angle of rotation of the knob, going from 2 & 105 to 4 & 105 Hz as the knob turns through 180. If L ! 1.0 mH, plot the required capacitance C as a function of the angle of rotation of the knob.
From the textbook chapter you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
