In an $L-C-R$ circuit, the capacitance is changed from $C$ to $4 C$. For the same resonant frequency, the inductance should be changed from $L$ to
  1. $2 L$
  2. $\frac{L}{2}$
  3. $\frac{L}{4}$
  4. $4 L$

Solution

In $L-C-R$ circuit, Resonant frequency, $f_0=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}}$ When, $C^{\prime}=4 C$, then resonant frequency is given as $ \begin{aligned} {f^{\prime}}_0^{\prime} & =\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L^{\prime} C^{\prime}}} \\ & =\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L^{\prime} \cdot 4 C}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \sqrt{L^{\prime} C}} \end{aligned} $ According to question, $ \begin{aligned} & f_0=f^{\prime}{ }_0 \\ & \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \sqrt{L^{\prime} C}} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{L^{\prime} C}} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{L C}=\frac{1}{4 L^{\prime} C} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 4 L^{\prime}=L \quad \Rightarrow \quad L^{\prime}=\frac{L}{4} \\ & \end{aligned} $
