A transmitting station releases waves of wavelength 960 m. A capacitor of 2.56 μF is used in the resonant circuit. The self-inductance of coil necessary for resonance is x×10-8 H. find x

Solution

λ=960 m

C=2.56 μF=2.56×10-6 F

c=3×108 m s-1

L=?

Now at resonance, ω0=1LC [Resonant frequency]

2πf0=1LC

On substituting f0=cλ, we have 2πcλ=1LC

On substituting f0=cλ, we have 2πcλ=1LC

Squaring both sides: 4π2c2λ2=1LC

=4×10×3×10829602=1 L×2.56×10-6

1 L=4×10×9×1016×2.56×10-6960×960

L=10×10-8 H
