Question

To receive AM radio, you want an RLC circuit that can be made to resonate at any frequency between 500 and 1650 kHz. This is accomplished with a fixed 2.42 µH inductor connected to a variable capacitor. What range of capacitance (in nF) is needed? smallest value nF largest value nF

Explanation / Answer

Given that

Low frequency f1=500 KHz

high frequency f2=1650 KHz

inductor C=2.42*10^-6 H

now we find the range of the capacitance

smallest capacitance C1=1/(2*3.14*500000)^2*2.42*10^-6=0.42 nF

largest capacitance C2=1/(2*3.14*1650*10^3)^2*2.42*10^-6=3.85 nF
