A tuned circuit of a transistor oscillator unit has an inductance of \(5 \mathrm{mH}\) and a capacitance of \(5 \mathrm{pF}\). The natural frequency of the oscillator is
  1. \(100 \mathrm{kHz}\)
  2. \(1 \mathrm{GHz}\)
  3. \(10 \mathrm{MHz}\)
  4. \(1 \mathrm{MHz}\)

Solution

For tuned circuit of a transistor oscillator unit, \(\begin{aligned} & L=5 \mathrm{mH}=5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{H} \\ & C=5 \mathrm{pF}=5 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~F} \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Natural frequency of tuned oscillator, \(\begin{aligned} f & =\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{5 \times 10^{-3} \times 5 \times 10^{-12}}} \\ & =\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{2.5 \times 10^{-14}}} \\ & =\frac{10^7}{2 \pi \sqrt{2.5}}=\frac{10}{9.93} \times 10^6 \mathrm{~Hz} \\ & =1.006 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~Hz} \\ & \approx 1 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~Hz}=1 \mathrm{MHz} \end{aligned}\)
