Which of the following coil will have large resonant frequency?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
Resonant Frequency: The resonant frequency of a coil in an AC circuit is determined by both its inductance and capacitance. It is given by the formula:

$$f_r = \frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}}$$

where $$f_r$$ is the resonant frequency, L is the inductance, and C is the capacitance.

Effect of Capacitance: From the formula, it is clear that the resonant frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the capacitance. Therefore, a lower capacitance results in a higher resonant frequency.

Options Analysis:

Option A: A coil with large resistance - The resistance of the coil does not directly affect the resonant frequency.

Option B: A coil with low resistance - Similar to option A, resistance does not directly impact the resonant frequency.

Option C: A coil with large distributed capacitance - Larger capacitance results in a lower resonant frequency.

Option D: A coil with low distributed capacitance - Lower capacitance results in a higher resonant frequency.

Therefore, the coil with low distributed capacitance will have a large resonant frequency.

Why in all online resources, answer is option C?
As per theory , resonant frequency is inversely proportional to √(LC)

The coorect answer should be D option because of our resonant frequency is inversly praportional to the capacitor.

Resonant frequency of coil is inversely proportional to square root of values of capacitance and inductance. So option D is correct

I think answer d is right, because resonant frequency f is inversely propositional to c

I think it should be D. Because
w = 1/√LC. C should be low than resonant frequency will be high.

It is the highest frequency for which the coil is inductive. Capacitance approaches to zero, while frequency approaches to infinity. As C is inversely proportional to f.
